The work adults do
Please consider doing a demonstration of your work for your child’s class.
Mostly the children are fascinated with what you do all day.
The value is justice, which means that we are fair for everybody.
For safety we’ll talk about being safe at home, with our bicycles, in cars, and around water. We’ll especially learn our parents names and our addresses.
Outside we’ll play lemonade and paint the town.
The songs we’ll be singing are John Jacobjingleheimerschmidt, When You Wish Upon a Star, One Hammer, Take Me Out to the Ballgame, and He’s Got the Whole World.
Our art activities are water pictures, electrician’s sculpture, paper plate clown and what surface is this?
Creative dramatics will be to pantomime one of the professions we’ve talked about.
For motor development we’ll build coordination by jumping and balancing. For body development, we’ll work on proprioception with backward get up, choo-choo train, back crawl, and palm push.
For Your Information
Safety Issues – The children will be learning safety issues for cars, bicycles, water, and at home here at school. You’ll have to teach them to say their parents’ names (not mommy and daddy), their addresses, and a phone to call in emergencies. They need to be able to say it loudly and clearly enough that any rescuer can understand what they are saying. If you can make it a chant, it’s easier to learn.
