Turkeys and Thanksgiving


We had a busy few weeks.  We spent time reading several books about the first Thanksgiving, learning songs and poems about turkeys, and reading books about being Thankful.  We played the Thankful Game where we went around in a circle and we each had to say something for which  we're thankful.  The catch was it had to be something you couldn't buy!!  We got ideas like I'm thankful for the stars, butterflies, the moon, the grass, playing outside, friends, family, and bunnies.  We had fun making butter on Tuesday.  We poured whipping cream into a jar and passed it around in our circle while we each shook it as hard as we could!  It went around about 3 times before it had turned into butter!  We each got some on our plate and spread it on a graham cracker for our snack.  Yum! 



Spreading our homemade butter on our graham cracker.

We made the letter of our first name using do a dots.
This was a glueing project.  We had to count out 6 feathers, figure out where to glue them, then added eyes, a beak and feet.  Finally we added our message...the kids couldn't wait to share these with their family!
We had fun making our own art with do a dots when we finished making our letters. 
Our homemade butter.  
Having fun playing with cars and trucks.
The train table is always a favorite station during center time. 
Legos, preschool k'nex, puzzles, ponies....just some of the choices during morning quiet time.
