September Fun

H is for Hat!

I look so ridiculous in hats, not like these adorable children! They all look like they were made for wearing hats! Which is why I am posting this picture. This is not about me, it’s about these kids! We had fun wearing all kinds of hats today, to celebrate letter H!

Community Helper-Server

We have been learning about all kinds of community helpers this year and we are bringing it to a close this next week. We will begin a study on America-Our Great Country. Corbin is so excited and can not wait!! He is my little history buff!

To make today more interesting and fun, I went to the lunch room and borrowed a serving tray and found some plastic ware, a napkin, a paper plate and a cup. I also had an old apron that I use when we are doing painting to keep it off of my clothes as much as possible.

We talked first about our favorite restaurant and the difference

between “fast food” and a “sit down style” restaurant. Then

I acted out for them how a waitress/waiter would come take their

order, then go get their food. I let each child have a turn doing this.

We had lots of discussion about using our best manners when

ordering food. They had so much fun practicing not spilling the

drink (the cup was empty and it was easy for it to fall over) or

the tray of food. The costumer had fun pretending to eat the food

as well. I think this turned out to be their favorite community

helper to learn about!

“End of the Day Stuff”

At the end of the day, after we have packed all our papers and had our agenda’s stamped with a smiley face, and packed our binders up, the kids can line up to get their treat for the day. (For good behavior). They are offered a choice of a cat sticker (I once had a parent who worked for a Vet’s office and gave me tons of cat stickers! ha! ha! The kids love them!) or a sucker.

A great way to end our day!
