Thanksgiving's Coming!

Today we were a little excited because we only have one day of school this week.  Why?  Because it is Thanksgiving!  Some of us will eat a lot of turkey and pie.  Some of us will have special people come to our house.  Some of us will go visit our relatives.  This is going to be fun.

When we came into school today we left on our coats.  What?  Yes, we went right outside and played in our play yard.  We just love the sand and those big trucks.  They are so much fun.  On Tuesday, we stayed inside and played when we first arrived because the Kindergarten Readiness kids were already outside.  We played Musical Hugs and Leaf Fishing.  In Musical Hugs we got to walk around a circle of hula hoops.  When the music stopped, Mrs. Meyers would have us get inside the hoops.  Each time she would take a hoop away until there was only one left.  There is one way to fit a bunch of preschoolers inside a hoop.  You all have to hug! 

Mrs. Whiteman had a bag of little leaves and she shook them over a table for us.  Then we took our magnets and cleaned up all of the leaves.  They stuck to the magnets because there was a paper clip on the leaves.  That made us laugh. 

When we got back inside we had a story called "Who Will Carve the Turkey this Thanksgiving?".  It asked all sorts of crazy questions like "Will a shark carve the turkey?"  or "Will a dinosaur carve the turkey?"  I wonder who really will carve that turkey?  We had the same story on Tuesday!

Our songs were "Here We Go 'Round the Mulberry Bush", "I Had a Little Turtle", "Mr. Turkey Went for a Walk" and "The More We Get Together".  We are having a lot of fun with our songs.  Sometimes we sing different ones while we are waiting to wash our hands or go home and those are fun, too.

Our snack was yogurt covered raisins.  Yum.  Thank you, Leah.  We had a special helper. It was Reese's mommy. Thank you!  After we were all finished we went to the Art Table and there was cinnamon playdough for us to use.  It smelled so good.  We made a turkey with the playdough and some colored popsicle sticks.  We even got to take our turkeys home.  Yeah!  For Tuesday's snack there were yummy granola bars from Hudson.  Thank you.

After we were all done with our playdough turkeys on Tuesday, Mrs. Meyers and Mrs. Whiteman decided it was so nice outside that we should go out and play.  We love that!  Then it was time to go home.

Happy Thanksgiving!
