Giving Thanks

Today was a very busy day. I forgot to take a lot of pictures. We got back into things, habits, and we were painting and creating away!

Did you ask them about our chapel story? See if they can tell you, but we all need a little boost sometimes so here are a few hints to prompt them with: What was the mans name Mrs. Kathy talked about? Was he a strong man or a weak man? Did this man fight for God's people? Did this man ever cut his hair? Did someone else ever cut his hair? What was his name again?

See what kind of answers you get....



We talked about being thankful and even animals need to be thankful. We painted a squirrel, and we will read Earl the Squirrel tomorrow. We will be finishing Earl then as well.



We went over our new turkeys. We talked about those and how they were made and who helped. We are still missing a couple so I hope to get to those tomorrow or on Monday.



We have our soup tomorrow as well so it is leading up to a very busy day again!!!


We have received a lot of items for our food drive and here they are. Thank you Thank you Thank you! Many of you have brought in bags of items and I want to thank you for that. This has been our best year, in our class. If that flows over into the other classes in the school, that would be awesome! We will have the best year over all - ever!


I hope you can read the Legend of the 5 kernels. They had fun doing this, even though it was a simple project. The colored corn was neat to them.
(I have a question - Do you remember the colored corn? I can't seem to find it anywhere. If you find it could you please let me know. You don't need to get it, I will get it, I just can't find it...Thank you!!!)


So let's see... We had turkey talk, met a squirrel, talked about giving, and the 5 kernels and had a free color time, no rules....well almost no rules. If they come home and say I don't like scribble scrabble...that is one of our rules. No grabbing a color and scribbling color on a page to be done. Scribble scrabble.
We also have to hold it right, other than that...no rules!

I liked this picture. Gretchen took her time and covered it all up. She likes colors! It's fall...there is color everywhere!


We will have our soup tomorrow! YUM YUM YUM!

Can you smell the turkey? It's getting close!

I want to thank everyone for bringing in their soup ingredients. I didn't write "can" on the first note - my fault! So when I sent out the reminder on Monday and it said can but you already sent in a dried bag or something different, don't worry about it! I didn't intend for you to go back out and buy more. "I" should have put "can" on there. I didn't mean to cause problems or rub anyone the wrong way. Sorry for the mess.
