Turkeys!

This week we used our handprint and many colors to make some bright and special turkeys! It was a great week working with our teachers and playing with our friends. :)

Bingo dotters made very colorful feathers


Since we are reading so many color words now, we can follow directions and create a very colorful turkey!


Our handprints can always make some kind of artwork!


Had to post this one...I asked these boys to read their new sight word book to me and they were really getting into it! ha!! Reading sure is fun in preschool. :)


Using letter stamps to write the word turkey.


What a great turkey!


I love the colors used! Such hard workers. :)


The turkey projects completed at home were SO good!! It looks like we should do more holiday homework in the future....such creative families! :)

Fall leaves!

Red, orange, yellow and brown...we had a colorful week at preschool surrounded by fall leaves everywhere! From our paintings to our fall books to the many leaves that were brought in by our own nature detectives, we had so many varieties of leaves to observe and use for our art work. :)

Working together on a new puzzle

A cutting and matching activity with fall leaves


Using leaf templates to color and bring the image to the front. :)


We read in a book where a fictional class used their leave collection to make a class tree...as a class we spontaneously decided we should do this too! It's on our window.


We usually have some reading time right after snack before pick up. :) These kiddos are enjoying the new fall books.
