NOVEMBER

This month we are going to be talking...Thanksgiving!  I will read a few stories, play turkey games, and even do a worksheet or two.   



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 

Books continue to help us reach our goals in speech therapy.  We are working on skills for retell, sequence, answering"wh" questions, and practicing our speech sounds.  I get to introduce "characterization" and we also make sure we know the difference between an author and illustrator.  


We are taking 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.. 
         Results are in!    34 Yes     15 No


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.  My little girl, eats all the "side" dishes, and passes on the turkey.  Her favorite....mashed potatoes, yum!
