Thanksgiving Fun

Theme:  We had a fun week learning about the Pilgrims who sailed on the Mayflower to come to America so they could choose how to worship God.

Choosing Time:  Little People Village, Trains, Sewing Cards....

Snacks:

• Popcorn
• Fruit By the Foot, Granola Bars, Grapes
• Fruit Loops

Music & Movement:  We read a Giant Book called Harvest Time.  Several pictures were missing from the book.  As we read the story the kiddos were able to guess what picture was missing and then add it to the book.  Each picture had a corresponding song.

• I am a Little Indian Boy
• For Health & Strength
• Row the Mayflower
• Turkey Dance
• Little House
• I Am Glad for Many Things
• 10 Little Indians
• A Turkey is a Silly Bird

Science:  We learned about wild and domesticated turkeys.  Did you know that Benjamin Franklin wanted the turkey to be the country's national bird?

Books:







Art:

• Turkey Pumpkins
• Color by the number Turkeys 
• Cornucopia Collage  

Reading:  We practiced the words "the, thank, and you."

Game:  Thankerchief, Thankerchief
As we recited a little poem we passed a handkerchief around the circle.  Whoever was holding it when the poem ended shared something he/she is thankful for.
