Thanksgiving and Special Friends Day

In our class we were busy making Thanksgiving decorations, learning about the first Thanksgiving and trying to explain to preschoolers what "thankful" means.  I asked one student what he was thankful for and he looked at me with a puzzled look.  I then said, "what are you really happy that you have?"  He thought and thought and finally answered with "my mouth."  Ohhhhhh the simplicity of preschool :)

Our first craft was making turkeys out of toilet paper rolls...so cute.

We then worked on our own place mats for the upcoming Thanksgiving dinner...

We also worked on the letter F this week. We Fingerpained with Foam.  The foam is made out of shaving cream, glue and paint to simply dye it the color you choose.  Going to have to give Mrs. Sensing credit for that recipe.  The kids loved it!

Lastly, we finally got to have Special Friend's Day!  Each student got to bring in someone special, we made Thanksgiving crafts together and got to have a feast in the cafeteria.  It was a very fun and special day for everyone!

Thanks for stopping by! Next up...Christmas in Mrs. Kloss' class :)
