September 28 - October 2, Three Year Olds

The three year olds also had a busy week! On Tuesday, Miss Jenny came to talk with us about the different musical instruments we have on the playground and in the courtyard. The children used their hands to play the slap drums, and they took turns using the marimbas. On the courtyard, we followed a musical treasure map to find the different instruments. The children also learned one of Jenny's favorite songs "I'm so happy that I want to sing" - ask your child if he or she remembers how the song goes!

On Thursday, we had a visit from a firetruck! The firefighters did not come into our classroom this time, as it can sometimes be frightening for the children, but we spent time with two firefighters and their truck outside. We learned about all of the items that are on the firetruck, including lots of different sized hoses, and even a big ax. It was a fun visit for the children and later in the classroom, there was a lot of turn taking with the big firetruck toy! Later, on the playground, the children took turns using pool noodles as fire hoses, and they "put out" the fires (really, they were just red and orange sheets of material!)
