Thanksgiving fun


What a fun week!  We finished our Indian shirts, headbands, and necklaces.  On Friday we dressed as Indians and sang our Thanksgiving songs for our friends in K5.  I hope everyone was able to see the video on my last post.  They were precious!  As you will see in our pictures, we continued to practice graphing this week as well as worked on the letters U and J.  You will also see us having fun in our learning centers around the classroom.  The favorite activity this week, however, was using the Ipads.  We were able to work on letter tracing, counting, and much more.  Now that we have access to the Ipads, we will be incorporating them into our learning each week.  We are thrilled to have them!!!  When we return to school we will begin the Christmas season with a "Gingerbread and Candy Cane" unit.  Many of our math, phonics, and art activities will involve gingerbread men and candy canes.  It should be lots of fun!    I hope that everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.  We are so blessed!  Enjoy your week!
