Week of November 14, 2022

We are so THANKFUL for our PreK-3 Friends!

We worked on our fine motor skills while making our Indian Corn!

f is for frog!

Making popsicle stick squares was such a fun challenge!

Pumpkin shape puzzles were so cool!

We had so much fun playing outside on the warm days and the cold ones too!!

Our Five Day Friends had fun with feathers this week!

We used school glue on our own and did such a great job!!

Guess what color playdough we are using now!!!

Our master builders are back at it!

Patterning was so cool!!!

I bet your little mathematician can demonstrate at home too!!

You can use cereal, small toys, small snacks etc. to practice their skills!

Ask your little one to sing you the FIVE FAT TURKEYS song!!

And ask them where the turkeys hid from the cook too!!!

We loved making our hand turkeys!  Hope you are enjoying them at home.  I was soooo tempted to display them at school but thought you would enjoy them at home to decorate for Thanksgiving!

(And yes... those are your own little turkey's hands!)

Sometimes we play so hard that we need to take a little break!

Our Five Day Friends were so inspired by the book Mousekin's Golden House that we decided to take Jack to the St Therese woods in hopes that he too will become a tiny home for a tiny critter this winter.

Bye Bye Jack!  You were a great Jack-o-Lantern!

We definitely have the cutest little turkeys in town!!!
