Oct. 16 - Friends and School Helpers

Thursday, October 16, 2008 FRIENDS AND SCHOOL HELPERS
Morning Circle (AM 9:00-9:30)
1. Song Can
2 Calendar
3. Letters in our names
4 Who is you're friend? We'll go around the circle and find out who each others friends are. We'll talk about how each person in preschool is a friend too, even Miss Tammy. Friends help each other also, and in school we all need to help each other. If someone gets hurt, we should help them. If someone needs help at a center, we should help them. If someone wants to play with us or share a toy, we should play and share. We should also help by taking care of the classroom and helping clean up our messes. If an accident happens, it's OK, just tell Miss Tammy. If nobody helps in preschool, it wouldn't be a very good school.
4. Read the story, "My Teacher is My Friend"
