Happy Thanksgiving!

Just a few pictures from the week....

Making turkeys

They organized this completely on their own! They put their chairs in this row and pretended they were on a train! I am so proud of them for playing so well together. :)

We talked a lot about the first Thanksgiving and how the Pilgrims and Native Americans wouldn't of went to Kroger to buy their Thanksgiving food. :) So we decided to make something a little bit from scratch. We made our own butter by shaking whipping cream in baby food jars. They were excellent shakers and the butter tasted pretty good!

Trying out our creation on toast. I think this was one treat that everyone enjoyed. :)

Gobble, gobble, gobble!

We had fun this week with our new theme turkeys! We are getting ready for Thanksgiving and have much to be thankful for! I am thankful for my wonderful class that I get to spend time with each school day!

The whole gang :)

Trying out some tricky patterns

Buddy reading

Working with a pal on Mr. Potato Head

Trying out the new marker boards where we can work on our letters, numbers, words or just draw a silly picture. :)

We are so proud of our work!

Learning and sharing with a buddy

And just plain giggles....that's the best sound for teachers to hear during class. :) We are thankful for sweet, happy kids that get to have fun each day learning!

Working one on one with Mrs. Tracy

Painting with friends :)

This smart gal was reading a book to her friends and pretending to be the teacher. :)

Turkey homework! What a fabulous job by everyone!!

Beautiful fall!

There is no better way to enjoy this beautiful fall weather than to observe it ourselves! We loved learning about the colorful leaves of fall and enjoyed playing outside with the new cooler weather.

WOW! What a beautiful tree you painted!

Observing and discussing many different types of leaves

Our sensory table now has rice in it and there was a lot of scooping, pouring, mixing and transferring going on all week.

Leaf prints

Will brought in some great pine cones from his yard for everyone so we decided to spruce them up. :)
