NOVEMBER
This month we are going to be talking about Thanksgiving! I have planned to read a few stories, make a few turkeys, and enrich the kids lives with fun facts!
See the updated "poll results" below!!
Books we are reading this month:
Who Will Carve the Turkey This Thanksgiving? by Jerry Pallotta
The Great Turkey Race by: Steve Metzger
10 Fat Turkeys by: Tony Johnston
Pete the Cat The First Thanksgiving by Kimberly and James Dean
Skills we are targeting this month are sequencing, categories, vocabulary, and recall and retell. We always find ways to get our good speech sounds into our sessions.
We have another "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..
YES = 22 NO = 4
Also we will take a "poll" for who likes pumpkin pie!?
Do You Like Pumpkin Pie?? Yes or No........
YES= 18 NO= 8
I was so happy to see most of my students enjoy eating Turkey and Pumpkin Pie. This is one of my favorite meals!!!

FRIDAY, NOV. 11TH

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.
