Date: Tuesday, July 5th, 2011 Theme: Police and Safety
Concepts:
1. Police officers help keep our community safe by helping people follow rules.
2. Following directions helps us in 3 ways: to be safe, to learn, and to have fun.
3. I can follow directions from adults by: looking, listening, and doing it right away.

What you can do at home:
Follow picture directions to build legos or for a recipe- talk about how some things turn out best when we follow directions. Obedience Treasure Hunt: Follow 3 or 4 steps that reveal where the treasure is hidden in your house! (This is a good time to test your child's knowledge of preposition words we learned last week.)
