Thursday, November 19

 Group Meeting:  We started our day by doing some Thanksgiving yoga.  We spelled turkey and did a movement using each letter.

Story:  The story for today was One Little, Two Little, Three Little Turkeys by BG Hennessy.  The story of the first Thanksgiving may be a little hard for young children to understand, but this book is illustrated to show Pilgrim children and Wampanoag children in their daily work and play.  It’s also a great counting book!

Fine Motor:  The children made a turkey using playdough, feathers, popsicle sticks, googly eyes, beads, etc.  We are leaving them to dry over the weekend.

Letter Learning:  The letter for today was A.

Snack:  The snack was Wheat Thins, cheese, juice and water.

Gross Motor:  We went to the Outdoor Classroom.

Story:  Who Will Carve the Turkey this Thanksgiving? by Jerry Pallotta  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzwvUpSRGJA  This is a fun book full of imagination.  While waiting for his grandparents to arrive for Thanksgiving, a boy imagines what would happen if someone other than his grandfather carved the Thanksgiving turkey.

Math Journal:  Hooray for Pumpkin Pie

Letter Learning:  Use four big lines to make the letter M.  Use the wet, dry, try board to print the letter M.

Sorting and Counting:  Sort the M&Ms on to the graph paper that is in the folder.  Now count each color.   Ask your child "which color has the most?"  "which color has the least?" Eat the M&Ms!!
