Thanksgiving Shows & Families

Both AM & PM classes did great in their little turkey shows.  It was a wonderful day filled with our family and friends.  We did not get any pictures without kid faces, so I can't post any of their performances on our blog.  Sorry about that!  We are so grateful for our terrific families!

Getting Ready for Our Feast

We are getting very excited for our Thanksgiving Shows and Family Feasts!  We have been busy preparing food for our families, making headbands to wear, and creating some cute turkey centerpieces.  It will be a fun day for our kids and families!

 

Making muffins!  The AM made cornbread to share and PM made pumpkin muffins.

 

Fruit Kabobs!

 

Headbands and centerpieces!

Turkey Circle Time

Here are just a few of our Circle Time activities for this unit.  We practiced our Thanksgiving Show songs, read silly stories, played "Who Stole the Turkey?", and learning about cornucopias with plastic fruit and veggies.

Turkey Games and Activities

Busy, Busy, Busy doing all things Turkey for our Thanksgiving Unit.  The AM Class' favorite activities were cranberries in the water table and "feeding the turkey" pom poms.  Several kids were amazed that no matter how hard they tried, those cranberries would not sink!  The PM Class' favorite activities were picking corn kernals off an Indian Corn cob with tweezers and the Roll & Draw a Turkey.  To make our turkey drawing, we had to roll a dice and then follow a chart to figure out which body part we needed to draw next.  Some of turkeys were very creative and colorful.

Barefoot Books Family Night

Wow!  We had an amazing night at Barefoot Books and it was such a fantastic turn out of our families!  It was so nice to see so many current and former students come to support us and to have fun.  The craft tables were " buzzing" with activity and the stories had several captive audiences.  Thank you to all our wonderful parents who helped organize and plan the event and those who donated supplies or food.  The children were most appreciative of the snacks.  THANK YOU FAMILIES!

Rhythm Kids Videos

Here are the videos I promised.  So much fun.  Enjoy.

 

Rhythm Kids program

We had a most amazing day today.  Rhythm Kids came to our school and we had a complete blast playing drums, dancing, moving to beats and rhythms, and hearing Tom and Dan play various instruments to tell a story about going on a trip to Africa.  Below are a few pictures. Videos will follow tomorrow!
