Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving week! I had a great time and we had dinner at our home this year. We cooked for 20 people! Luckily I have a fabulous husband who did almost all the cooking, and we had other people help bring things as well. :) I can't believe it is almost December. This year is just flying by. We did quite a few things for Thanksgiving this year. Some of them were: 

Learning about the food pyramid and the different food groups. Afterwards we had our Thanksgiving Feast which included; Turkey, carrots, apples, string cheese, a roll, and a cookie. Something from each food group.

 (This picture was taken a couple years ago with a different class. I forgot to take a new picture.)

The kids got to write down what they were thankful for onto leaves and put it on my Thankful Tree. Almost everyone was thankful for their mom or dad. Some said friends, or a brother or sister. One was even thankful for Halloween costumes :)

We also learned a favorite Thanksgiving song, hopefully some of them sang it to you.

Turkey Dinner, Turkey Dinner
Gather around, gather around
Who will get the drumstick? Yummy yummy drumstick
All sit down, All sit down

Corn bread, muffins
Lots of stuffing.
Pudding pie 10 feet high!
We were all much thinner before we came to dinner.
Me oh my! Me oh my!

We also made these turkeys. Their feathers are painted coffee filters and then you add them to the body. They really enjoyed making these.

 Isn't he so adorable? This little guy was so proud of the legs he cut out on his turkey.

 I told them to be creative so this little guy decided he would do an upside down turkey. :)

Thank you again for letting me teach your child! I am so thankful for each of them. They always brighten my day and bring a smile to my face.
