OUR COMMUNITY and the color YELLOW

We started a unit on "Our community". In this unit, we learn all about our “Neighborhood helpers.” We learned that everyone has a special job and we all help each other. We learn to understand that each person has a responsibility to another and not only we rely on others to help us ( Dr, Fireman, Mailman,  etc..) but even us little two year olds can do our part to add to the community. This is a very important lesson for children because it plants the seeds for children to grow up with a certain level of responsibility to our community and the people around us. 

We sang our community helper song:
(Tune from Barney  - I love you , you love me, we're a happy family...)
Helping hands, helping hands
We all have helping hands.
I help you and you help me
We all have helping hands.

We discussed who helps us at home when we need something. Most friends said that their Mama's and Daddy's help them.

We discussed who helps us in school when we need something. The Morah's help us out with most things. Isabelle helps us by bringng us our lunch,  and Mr Gena helps us to fix things when they break.

We learned about the Grocery store. We discussed how the Store Keeper helps us in the grocery store. When we need food or other things we need to go to a store where the shopkeeper will sell us what we need.

We took a walk to the grocery store. We looked around and saw that the grocery store sells all different foods to eat. Being that we were learning the color RED , we looked to buy RED foods in the grocery store.

We held onto the rope as we left school.

We patiently waited for the traffic light to change so we could cross safely.

We walked around the store looking for RED fruits/vegetables.

We saw so many RED peppers

Chaim Tal put the RED pepper into the bag.

We took red plums, red peppers and red tomatoes to the Grocery Store owner and waited on line to pay.
The Store owner was also wearing a RED shirt:)
Daniella gave her the money and she put our RED food into a bag.

We said thank you and took our bag back to our school

On our way home we noticed all the winter trees that have no leaves on them because of the cold.

We put our RED purchases on our lunch table and more cut them for us to eat during afternoon snack.

YELLOW

We started a new color this week - Yellow. We gathered so many yellow objects from our room and brought them to circle time.

We made yellow collages
