We talked about fire safety during our field trip today. The students were told to encourage their families to practice their fire escape plan (including a place to meet) at home this week. We also learned that although the fire fighters look scary in their uniforms, we should NEVER hide in a house that is on fire.

The newest PreK challenge at recess is the monkey bars! Some of the students have become obsessed with making it to the end. As of today, we have 5 students who can get through all of the rings. One student can go backwards! We're averaging about 1 new student who can make it to the end each week. The kids chant each other's names and offer encouragement for those who keep trying.
I've enjoyed it because we practice a lot of math during this process! We count how far we can go, use the terms more/less, and discuss the number line in meaningful ways. It feels like I am sneaking spinach into brownies, but if it works.... :) We opened the big section of the blocks for center time this week. The students have had a great time playing with all the new blocks.
