NOVEMBER
This month we are going to be studying about Thanksgiving! I have planned to read a few stories, make a few turkeys, and enrich the kids lives with fun facts!
Books we are reading this month:
Who Will Carve the Turkey This Thanksgiving? by Jerry Pallotta
10 Fat Turkeys by: Tony Johnston
The Very Stuff Turkey by: Katharine Kenah
The Great Thanksgiving Escape by: Mark Fearing
We have started a "poll"!! In talking about turkey, traditions, food, some of the kids started to tell me that they don't eat turkey! So I wrote the question on the board:
Do You Eat Turkey?? Yes or No..
The results are in!!!
YES = 15 NO = 12
I admit, I am always a little surprised how many kids don't eat turkey. When I asked them what they eat, they said they didn't know.

Thanksgiving break:
Wed. 11/26-28 - NO SCHOOL
Wed. 11/26-28 - NO SCHOOL
A few fun ideas to keep your kids busy during the holiday gathering:
*Write out the word Thanksgiving Dinner - see how many words you can make using these letters.
*Have the kids make placemats. Use a piece of paper and have them draw pictures of Thanksgiving, or something they are thankful for.
*Talk about Thanksgiving traditions your family might have. Maybe your kid has a new tradition they would like to try?!
*Take lots of pictures and make a scrapbook so your child can use their memory, recall, sequencing, and retelling skills.
