Thanksgiving Feast Day

First everyone got into a costume of their liking, then we made "apple turkeys," and sang "Going on a Turkey Hunt!" For lunch we made apple spice muffins and turkey soup. Some of the children even ate the turkey soup :)

 The Pilgrims made new friends in America!

We made turkey soup! 

Feasting!

 Happy Thanksgiving!

 Thanksgiving Poem

"For each new morning with its light,

For rest and shelter of the night,

For health and food,

For love and friends,

For everything

Thy goodness sends."

Ralph Waldo Emerson



Katy No-Pockets and more...

During the last few weeks we have been learning about the letters Hh, Ii, Jj, and Kk. Some of the books we enjoyed together were, The Scarecrow's Hat, Manana Iguana, and Katy No-Pocket.
In Katy No-Pocket, Katy's distress at being a kangaroo with no pouch is quickly remedied by a kindly construction worker. In the end "Katy Kangaroo is very happy because now she has more pockets than any mother kangaroo in the world!" I especially love Katy No-Pocket because Katy has such a big mother's heart and fills all of her newly aquired pockets with lots of baby animals.

Here are a few pictures to give you a sampling of what we've been up to... Enjoy!
