Stop, Look, and Listen

This week our theme is "How do I Keep Myself Safe?".

Today we began by learning about signs that keep us safe.

We then went for a walk around campus to check out some of these signs in person.

First, we found a crosswalk sign,

 and practiced walking across it.

 Then we found a handicap sign, and learned what that meant.

 Look, a stop sign!

We now know that signs are shaped and colored certain ways, so that us non-readers can understand these important signs too.

 After our walk, we came back to our room to practice coloring some of the signs we found.

 Then we got to have a room picnic!!

YUM our sack lunches were delish!

 Finally, this afternoon we were introduced to a new shape...the rectangle.

We learned that, like a square, it has four sides.  However, a rectangle's sides are NOT all the same!  There are 2 short sides and 2 long sides.

We then learned about another very important safety sign that is in the shape of a rectangle...a traffic light!

Check out how we used some rectangles and a few circles to create our very own traffic lights.

 We had to make sure that we put red on top, yellow in the middle, and green on the bottom.

 TaDa!

 A big thank you to our Star of the Week, Austin, for sharing his super exciting Spider-man book with us today!
