Activities this week (Tuesday only!)
  • Our star this week was Jazlyn!
  • Art Project: we made a pine cone turkey!

  • We dismissed for snack by positioning pictures around a turkey!
  • Book:  Thanks for Thanksgiving: we learned how children are thankful for everything in their lives!  Ask your child what they are thankful for!
  • We've got mail: This week we found an experiment called "Bendy Bones" and we learned about how we need calcium to keep our bones strong!  Here is the experiment we learned about: 1) clean a chicken or turkey bone 2) dry the bone 3) put the bone into a jar and cover with vinegar - this removes the calcium from the bone 4) let it stand in vinegar about seven days 5) remove the bone and it will bend!
  • Song: "Mr. Turkey": Who's that struttin' there lookin mighty perky? Looks like it might be old Mr. Turkey!  Strut Mr. Turkey, that's a fancy way to walk!  Strut Mr. Turkey, that's a fancy way to talk!
  • Happy Thanksgiving!
