Community Helpers

We had an awesome week exploring our community and pretending to be community helpers in our very own classroom!  We had a vet clinic set up, complete with all the tools they would ever need AND a waiting room!  Soo much fun!!!

We had a dentist office, where the kids flossed "food" out of teeth, scrubbed off the sugar bugs, and we even had a play-doh dentist set that we could make molds of teeth, use tools to pull teeth, and much much more!

We had the restaurant up a going,

A beauty shop,

A construction zone,

And our train table was converted into a town complete with all sorts of helpers!

We were so blessed to have Dr. Nolan come to our class and talked to us about our eyes and all the things we can do to keep them healthy!

We even got to see 3 horses get out of their trailer and go to the vet.  Their owner was so nice to take time out of his day to talk to the kids about horses, how to keep them healthy, and how they go to the vet once a year to get their shots!

The kids had so much fun playing this week, we had to make some crafts for them to bring home so they could continue the fun there!

We made doctor kits that required them to trace their name and use those tiny finger muscles to open up a band-aid and stick it on their kit!

We also made a toothbrush that required the kids to again trace their name and practice their cutting skills to make the bristles! 

And we really had to scrub to make these yellow teeth white!

It was another great week with an awesome group of kids!!!
