Special Visit from the Pasadena Fire Department

On Monday, October 11th we had a fantastic visit from Pasadena Fire Station 36. They showed us how firefighters outfit themselves to fight fires and even how the truck sprays water! It was awesome! This was a lovely addition to the visit we had from Jeff Ragusa, a Glendale firefighter and dad from Rm 1, who showed us his firefighter gear on Friday, October 1st. With both visits, the firefighters focused on helping the children to understand that the don’t have to be afraid when they see a firefighter fully outfitted, they are here to help. The preschoolers loved having all of our firefighters and we are so grateful for their amazing work. Thanks guys, you are our heroes!

FIREFIGHTERS VISIT

What an exciting Monday. We were thrilled to see the Pasadena firefighters come and visit our school, they brought all their very important gear and the big RED truck. All our kids were good listeners, answered questions and saw the fire man put on his uniform. We got to give him hi five and take pictures with them.

Thank you to all the essential workers out there for reaching out in one way or another to put a smile on our kids face.

PASADENA FIRE DEPARTMENT

A SPECIAL VISITOR

We have been singing, reading and dressing up as firefighters, the kids have also been enjoying the fire trucks and others fire fighting gear in the dramatic station. These activities lead us to today’s presentation by Battalion Chief Jeff Ragusa (Room #1 parent). He did so good with our kids.

Pizza Days

We had an amazing two days of pizza-making with our parent volunteers. We hope you enjoy these pictures as much as they enjoyed the pizzas! They also made Little Red Hens in honor of The Little Red Hen story that Ms. Gwen so graciously read to us! Super fun and busy days! Stay tuned for October’s blog!

APPLES GALORE

The kids so much fun doing so many different activities with all the Apple you all provided this week. Thank you for your collaboration. Have a look at all the educational and fun projects we did so far.

Apple Photo Booth

Apple arts and craft

So many apples, what can we do? We can count, do a flannel story and more…

Next week we will be cooking a simple but delicious apple dumpling with our parents help and all the apples that were brought into our class.

Art on Older Pod Patio

In the month of September we emphasize the concept of lines. On older pod patio, we’ve been exploring lines through line collage art, negative space painting, golf ball painting and more!

Even clean up is fun! Check out our Room 1 friends as they work together to clean up colorful paint splatter around the art easel.

“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10

Small Groups

We have officially started small groups! Last week we picked out our group names. This week we are focusing on the letter A and things that start with A like apples. Right now we are getting used to gathering in our groups and we are learning which teacher leads each small group. So here they are!

Ms. Sheri has the Purple Penguins.
Mr. Yorlin has the Pink Dinosaurs.
Ms. Kira has the Blue Kangaroos.

Small Groups happen every day except for Wednesday and we are having a lot of fun learning new things. We look forward to a year of learning and exploring together.

SEPTEMBER TO REMEMBER

What amazing kids we have in class, they can recap our Bible story Creations. We ask them questions such as, What did God put on the sky for night time? Or for day time? We also ask them, What kind of animals did God created for the ocean? Or animals that can crawl, creek or slider? They can excitedly give the correct answers.

In the class we are introducing the letter “B,” and the color “Yellow.”

Fall is near and we are reading some awesome Apple Books. We will be doing art, simple cooking with our two year olds, math and science with all different kids of apples.
