Group Meeting: We will be talking about Thanksgiving this week. We started by doing the "Turkey Hokey Pokey" by the Kiboomers.
Story: The story for today was Thanks for Thanksgiving by Julie Markes. This beautiful picture book tells about all of the things for which we can be thankful. I used this book to start a conversation about the things that make us feel thankful.
Thankful Turkey: On the hallway bulletin board, I have placed a turkey that is missing his tail. The children took paper feather shapes and drew pictures of things for which they are thankful. Together, we took our leaves into the hall and used them to create a beautiful tail for our turkey. It was nice to listen to the children tell that they are thankful for family, food, and pets.
Letter Learning: The letter for today was R
Snack: The snack for today was apples, peanut butter, milk and juice.
Gross Motor: We went to the Outdoor Classroom! We will continue to do so. Some of the children were wishing they had gloves or mittens today. Stick some in their pockets when it gets cold.

Fine Motor Turkey: In the take home folder, you will find a picture of a turkey standing on a pumpkin. The words “Color. Snip. Glue.” at the top. You will also find strips of orange, yellow, and red construction paper. Have your child color the picture. Then, ask him/her to use a scissors to cut the strips of paper on the lines to create squares. Use a glue stick or squeeze glue to fasten the pieces in the squares around the turkey.
Letter Learning: Use a large line, little curve, and little line to make the letter K. Use the wet, dry, try board to make the letter K.
Math Journal: Triangle-have your child trace the triangle, then attempt to make one next to it.
