Thanksgiving week

This week we remembered all we are thankful for while learning about the first Thanksgiving.  We celebrated with our friends in Mrs. Jaime and Mrs. Jenn's class with a story and some yummy Thanksgiving treats.  Thanks friends for another great week!  I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family!!

Fall Fun!

We have had a great couple of weeks learning about leaves and turkeys to finish out our fall themes.  The teachers picked out all of our goodies to purchase from our trike-a-thon donations and those items came in this week!  The kids are already using the new center items and loving them.  Thank you so much!!  We are so grateful for the awesome families of LAP!
Snack time! 

Enjoying our homemade play-doh made by our fabulous moms! 
Look at this smartie matching every upper and lowercase letter! 
Check out this oil pan purchased from wal-mart (ha!) that works as a giant magnetic board. This friend is spelling his color words with magnetic letters. 
Using bingo dotters to find letter sounds 
What a colorfult turkey! 
Scooping, measuring and pouring in the sensory table is fun. 
Great teamwork boys! 
This is a new purchase! This friend found the correct patterns to build the car to match the card. 
Our new window blocks. They make great windows and doors and look pretty cute with a sweet friend peeking through. :)

Great coloring boys 
Our new graphing chart is perfect for carpet time discussions.  Looks like our class is looking forward to winter (not me)! :) 
This group put together an ABC floor puzzle 
We got a new puppet stand too!  Looks like a good show. 
Thanks to Emmy's mom for planning a fun craft for us.  We are thankful for many things!
