Gobble...Gobble...Gobble & A Happy Thanksgiving to you!

What a fun week...it seemed short combing Thanksgiving and Turkeys! But we got it done! We also worked on the letter Tt and reviewed 0-5 by playing lots of games!

Thursday:
After we read my favorite Thanksgiving story...we made Fat Turkeys of our own!



Such an artist!

Dramatic Play!

We are thankful for so much! Hope you like your sweet place mats!
They were all thankful for mommies and daddies! A few other things they were thankful were: God, Jesus, Mario Kart 8, the world! I am thankful for them!


Our turkey treat! Thanks to a special mama who sent this in!

Shapes, colors, and turkeys! This was a great way to identify their shapes and colors...along with counting!

Helping Tommy Turkey get his feathers! They had to count out 5 feathers and add them to their turkeys! A fun way for me to informally assess their counting skills! They rocked it!




We worked on building a staircase with unifix cubes. This helped them identify with the matching a quantity to the coordinating number!


Done to absolute perfection...So proud!!!

Now...let's see how long we can make it!! ha!

Awesome teamwork friends!! Love these sweet kiddos!
Friday...
On Friday we talked more about the meaning of Thanksgiving and how it all started! The Pilgrims and the Native Indians! We then made our very own Mayflower.

They painted water and added 3 sails...I once again had them count out 3 sails...they are doing awesome with 1:1 correspondence!

Our sweet turkey snack! 

We were letter detectives and located all the capitol and lowercase Tt's in this poem. They amaze me with their smartness!!! 


So you thought you would get a week with out fine motor skills...Sorry! Tearing for T! They took paper and had to tear little pieces off to cover their T. The smaller pieces they tear the harder it is on their sweet hands. I encouraged small pieces to work on strengthening them!


Ordering...Biggest to smallest!

Super work!

Making a puzzle picture by ordering numbers 1-10! Proving how smart they are!

Playing Hi-Ho-Cherrio! What a fun way to work on counting! They even had to subtract!


So engaged!

Those small cherries are hard to handle!

Coloring Turkeys to make magnets for you! These kiddos are so thankful for their families!

Have a wonderful, safe, and thankful Thanksgiving! Enjoy your week off!
