Blessings

We are so thankful for the many blessings God has given us. That has been our theme for the last two weeks. We have dicussed the Pilgrims and Native Americans and have learned how they shared their food and knowledge with each other. We continue to grow in respect of others feelings and expand our knowledge of preschool.









I feel an..... acorn.



I feel a....... bumpy pumpkin.



After having squash, pumpkins, acorns, etc. in our sensory table for several weeks, we had a "feely" box where children had to discover the contents inside only by the sense of touch. They guessed every item.






One of the first games the Indian children played was like our bowling. Pins and balls were carved out of wood. The boys enjoyed knocking them down and setting them back up.



After practicing with turkeys, the students made their own patterns on their headbands for our Pilgrim-Indian celebration.







Watching the hot air popper was fun, BUT ...........
eating the popcorn was the BEST!!!!!!!!!













What great tail feathers our hands make. Also, it helps us distinguish between right and left.





We studied and learned many things about the Native Americans. Our tepees were one example of their homes.



We can work as a team or individually to create shapes, designs, or anything we want.









The comics strips in Sunday's paper made terrific feathers for our turkeys.




Pinching clothespins to our turkeys added color and tested our counting skills.
