As most of
you know I closed the classroom in August order to take care of the medical
needs of our children. I also took the opportunity to go full time at CNM in
order to get closer to my goal of getting an AA in Early Education. The time
has paid off! Our children are healthier and I finished the semester with three
A’s and two B’s. Yea! I am very excited to put into practice what I have
learned. Oh how we have missed little ones roaming around the house and look
forward to establishing some lasting relationships with the families our Lord
provides!
This Month's Study
As we talk about Community Helpers, and do many
play activities, we will learn and practice so many new words that will help us
in communicating, reading, and writing throughout our lives. We also will learn
a lot about social skills. We will learn that in our community there are people
who take care of all the things in our neighborhoods so we can learn, be safe
and stay healthy. There are community helpers, such as teachers, doctors,
dentists, police officers and firefighters. We will talk about how doctors and
dentists help us to stay healthy.
Doctors help us by giving us shots to keep us
from getting diseases, or when we feel sick, and they listen to our hears and
lungs to make sure they are healthy. Dentists help us by cleaning and fixing
our teeth. We will draw about when we went to the doctor or dentist. We will
talk about how police officers keep us safe. They can help us find our parents
if we are lost. We will learn that if there is an emergency and we need help,
we can call the police by dialing “911” on the phone. We will learn that firefighters are who
we call if there is a fire. They spray water or chemicals on the fire to put it
out. We can call the firefighters by dialing “911” on the phone, just like the police. 
Firefighters also
teach us what to do and how to stay safe if there is a fire. We will learn the
mail carriers are community helpers who help us by delivering our mail and
bring mail or letters to our homes. Some mail carriers deliver mail in a car
while others use a big truck, an airplane or even walk. We will be writing
letters to ourselves. We will put our names, addresses and a postage stamp on
the envelopes so that it can be mailed.
