Our last two weeks experiences have centered around turkeys and corn. These are two very important foods included in the first Thanksgiving feast which leads us into next week. Many of our activities gave the children hands on opportunities to discover and learn about these items. Handprint turkeys were a favorite and something the children can do at home. Clipping clothespin tailfeathers improved our counting and fine motor skills. We did the" Turkey Hokey Pokey" and learned several new Thanksgiving songs. We didn't let the rainy day spoil our fun as we gobbled gobbled through our net tunnel.
Corn turned out to be much more than just for eating. There are so many products made from corn like the playdough we made from cornmeal and the Indian corn for decorations. The corn in the sensory table was used for scooping and measuring. Then there's the corn at the science table to inspect with a magnifying glass
and the corn kernels in art to form our first initials. Not to mention painting with a corn cob and of course, making and eating popcorn. WOW! Corn week was really fun!!
