Coast Guard

This week we learned about the  Coast Guard.  They are a fun group to learn about.  They are like the police officers, the fire fighters, the search and rescue and the navy and air force all rolled into one.  They even have Coast Guard dogs that can search for illegal things on boats.  We got a sheet that had pictures of a bunch of Coast Guard vehicles and we watched a video and were able to identify most of them.  Then we learned how to fold sailor hats out of newsprint and finally we learned how to talk like a sailor.  We learned different words like deck, porthole, lookout, etc.

Next week we are going to do more on the Coast Guard.  There is just so much to learn about.  We are also continuing to work on memorizing our phone numbers and addresses.  This is a safety thing in a child gets lost.  I would encourage you to work with them on learning these things.  The car is a good place to practice.  I have a special sticker sheet for the kids than can at least learn their phone number.
