Welcome to Ms. Gardners Kindergarten Class

This month we will be talking about the different
people in our neighborhood. We will be talking about
different jobs and what people do in those jobs.
The jobs we will be focusing on are the following:
teacher, fire fighter, doctor, mail carrier, cashier,
police officer, cook, and more. Once we learn more
about each job we will start playing games like
listening lotto. We will also have the school nurse
come in and talk about her job. In our next lesson
we will be learning how to count to 100. I would like
to have some parents as volunteers to come in and
talk about their jobs. The students will dress up as
their favorite community helper and write about
them.
The students will learn the following:
What is a doctor?
What does a fire fighter do?
What is a cashier?
What does a mail carrier do?
How are police officers helpful?
