Happy Thanksgiving!
We all have something to be thankful for, and these kids have so many things to be thankful for! We discussed how we are lucky to have what we have because not everyone has all that we do (ie: clothing, food, a home, family, etc). We talked about what exactly it means to be thankful and everyone thought of the things they were thankful for; toys was definitely the one said the most often. They also mentioned things like memories, vitamins and their pets.
Thanksgiving is a great excuse to make everything turkey! The kids made handprint/feather turkeys, play dough turkeys with feathers, and name turkeys with each letter of their name on a paper feather. We also practiced sorting turkey feathers by colour and colour patterns were introduced as well.
Our letters this week were C and O. We started our letter learning this year using the Big Line and Little Line terminology and now we are moving into letters that have a Big Curve. Magic C Bunny made an appearance this week, since his favourite letter is C or course!
Some of the stories we read this week included:
The Little Red Hen by Paul Galdone
The Thankful Book by Todd Parr
Bear Says Thanks by Karma Wilson
