While learning about the letters E and F, we've been incorporating community helpers like ambulance drivers doctors, and police officers, who help in emergencies (for the letter E), and fire-fighters and first aid (for the letter F). Today we read a couple of books about doctors, and then we practiced being doctors and patients! The students paired up and took turns examining each other.
Toy doctor kits are a great way for kids to feel comfortable visiting their doctor!
Most of our first-aid kit contents were dollar store finds -- small plastic containers, large gauze pads, band-aids, alcohol swabs, tissues, and a mask. As we added each item, we discussed how it helps us.
We used strips of red felt to make a red cross for the lids of our kits. When we asked the children what a cross stood for, one of our precious boys screamed out "JESUS!"
Peeling stickers is good for students' fine motor skills!
Stickers are done - now ready to add supplies!
This girl always injects a bit of silliness into her projects!
Filling a first aid kit is serious business!
In goes the mask!
Mrs. Connie explains how each item helps us.
We will be sending the kits home next week, and we hope they'll be helpful to you and your little ones!
