 The children drew pictures on the feathers of things for which they are thankful.

                                                     Creations inspired by the Leaf Man book

Group Meeting:  We did a little more Thanksgiving Yoga today.  This time, we spelled the word pumpkin and did the stretches that went along with the letters.

Story:  The story for today was Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving by Dav Pilkey.  In this story, a class of children are going on a field trip.  Along the way, the come upon a turkey farm.  The children get out of the bus and enjoy playing with the turkeys.  Then, someone sees an ax by the turkey pen.  They wonder what it is for.  Ask your child to tell you how this story ends. 

Thanksgiving Count the Room:  Around the room, I taped pictures of Thanksgiving items.  The children were given a corresponding piece of paper that had all of the pictures on it.  They had to walk around the room, count the items and print the correct numeral in the box.   I thought they all did a wonderful job with this activity.

Letter Learning:  The letter for today was N.

Gross Motor:  The children went to the Outdoor Classroom.

Snack:  The snack was celery, peanutbutter, raisins, juice, and water.
