Happy Thanksgiving, Secret Santa

The collage on the left shows our centers last week.  1. Paint corn cobs with a Q-tip.  2. practice spelling sight words with the iPads. 3. Spell consonant vowel consonant words with letter beads then write the same word on a dry erase board. 4. Unscramble a sentence and draw a picture to go with it.  Then write around the room.

5.I spy alphabet letters (not pictured)

The collage on the left shows some of the kids Secret Santa shopping with our buddies. The kids had so much fun shopping!  

                                           

We read the story The Night Before Thanksgiving by Dav Pilkey.  Amazon has the following to say about the book...In this story, Pilkey adapts Clement Moore's Christmas poem to tell his wacky Thanksgiving tale. The day before Thanksgiving, eight boys and girls take a field trip to a turkey farm. They have fun playing with eight turkeys but are shocked to learn that Farmer Mack Nuggett plans to kill all the turkeys for Thanksgiving dinners. So the children decide to smuggle all the turkeys home, and all their Thanksgiving dinners become vegetarian this year. The turkeys' lives are saved!
                                                   
After reading this story the kids filled out a paper from kinderalphabet.com that said Don't Eat Turkey!  Eat More.... They had to decide what food to eat instead of turkey.

                

Sammy P. wanted to eat more raspberry ice cream.  Ethan wanted to eat more Macaroni and Cheese.  Luke wanted to eat more french toast.  Ava G.  wanted to eat more Spaghettios.

I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving holiday with your families!
