Thanksgiving Party!

Theme: Thanksgiving Party!

Choosing Time: Play-doh

Music & Movement: The "Turkey" Dance & Duck, Duck, Turkey
Snack: What a Feast we had today! The crackers, oranges, fruit snacks, popcorn, pretzels, & marshmallows were super yummy. Each of us passed out what we'd brought to share. It was fun to share what we brought with our friends in a similar way that the Pilgrims & Indians did on the First Thanksgiving.
Gratitude Board: We added a few more things to our board: Broccoli, apples, dogs, & a lovely picture of Daniel's family. I will save all of these things for the children to take home next week. Thank you for sending things! It has been a treat to see what we are grateful for and to realize that many of us are grateful for the same things.

Game: Thanksgiving Bingo!
Science: We popped our colored corn kernels. We enjoyed watching the corn pop in a clear air popper. All of us thought that we'd see rainbow popcorn. We were wrong. The corn popped white. It was fun to notice that the kernel hidden in the fluffy white was still colored.
Art/Writing: We practiced our names using glue & our colored popcorn kernels along with some popped corn. We also finished our Cards. We hope you all enjoyed them :)
Poetry: We recited our Indian Boy poem.
