Group Meeting:  We prepared for our field trip tomorrow.  I explained what will take place.  We made a list of questions that we will ask when we get to the fire station.

Story:  We listened and watched the book Neighborhood Helpers by Jennifer Blizin Gillis on the Promethean board.   This is a non-fiction book about community helpers.  Community helpers are people who work to keep our community safe and healthy.

Large Groups:  The children answered the question, "Have you ever met a community helper?"  At first, we had some yes answers and some no answers.  After we talked about doctors, dentist, teachers, and librarians, everyone realized that they had met a community helper.

Letter Learning:  We are starting to identify sight words.  The first sight word is I.  We looked at several sentences that had the word I in them.  Then the children circled the word I on their papers.  The pictures on the paper make it easy for them to read.

Snack:  The snack for today was apples, fruit dip, milk and water.

We will be leaving for the fire station at 9:45 and 1:45.  If you have any questions, please let me know.
