November 2016



Our themes for November consisted of:

  • Circus
  • Pumpkins
  • Thanksgiving










The First Thanksgiving!
We made a bracelet to help us remember the story of the first Thanksgiving.




We made Pilgrim and Native American hats for our skit.



Ms. Linda read The First Thanksgiving and the children acted out the story.

"The Pilgrims sailed across the ocean..."

 "When they got to America, they were so happy!"

"Their first winter was really hard, many Pilgrims became sick."

 "But, the Native Americans came to help."

 "They taught them how to grow food."

"They enjoyed the fruits of their labor with a Thanksgiving meal together."

November 2015

Wow! What happened to this month?  I feel like October's post was just posted yesterday.  It was very short with Teacher Workdays and holidays.  The themes for the month consisted of Pumpkins and Thanksgiving.
We only had one Fun Food activity this month.  We made a pumpkin out of bread and cheese.  



 Everybody loves CHEESE TOAST!

More Pumpkins!!!

 We love it when our older students use written expression skills for Show and Tell!!!!


Pumpkins!
 We completed a Pumpkin Observation book from Bunting Books!
 We checked to see if a pumpkin sinks or floats.
 We measured how tall the pumpkin is.
  We guessed how much the pumpkin weighed.


  We counted the pumpkin seeds...
 and made guesses of how many!!!

 Then, Ms. Robin toasted the pumpkin seeds with a little oil and salt.
 Yum!!!
 Yum!!! Ummm... maybe not!

Thanksgiving Day Manners!
It's never too early to start teaching good table manners.  
First, we reviewed good and bad table manners
 Then, we broke the children up into 3 groups.
Group 1
We played a game of sorting Good and Bad table manners.



 Group 2
The children practiced setting the table!!




 Group 3
The children glued food onto their plate making sure to have at least 1 item from all the food groups.

OT Time, 
Sensory Time 
and Learning Time!!!








On Friday, we had our annual Thanksgiving Feast!  What an amazing time to have our families together to share a feast and give thanks!!!
