Turkeys, Pilgrims, and Thanksgiving took center stage the last two weeks.  We thanked God for our many blessings like family, friends, and good food.  We had a Pilgrim and Native American celebration with lots of yummy fruit.  Thank you God for letting us be a part of this fun school.

 Lots of turkey games. Turkey math and turkey "T" sounds.

 This week it was a team effort to work these hard puzzles.

 A challenging game of memory.

 Turkey tail feathers made out of comic strips.

 We love playing with the dollhouse.

 The pine cone was pretty easy to tell without looking, but the letters were a different story.

 This graph was pretty clear-- pumpkin pie was the favorite Thanksgiving food.

 This old time hot air popcorn machine brought many faces......

 But the most fun was eating it!!!!!

FOSSILS, HERBIVORES, AND PALEONTOLOGISTS

 

Our dinosaur week was packed with hands on activities for everyone.  We learned many new words and are adjusting to being inside.

 Working on our fine motor skills of tracing dotted lines.

 Assembling dinosaur puzzles.

 We learned a new vocabulary word this week, paleontologist, or one who digs for fossils.

 First, we had to open our dinosaur eggs.

 Then it was dig, dig, dig to find the letters in the pla-doh.

 We dropped sponges into water and discovered after several hours they turned into dinosaurs.

 Tossing in some new Legos drew a big crowd this week.

 Each child got to share some homework where they compared the size of their fist with one of their parents'. ( Size of the heart) 

 Dinosaurs books are the best!!!!!!

 Now that the weather has turned cooler, we are enjoying some fun indoors like DINO, DINO WHO STOLE YOUR BONE?

SIMON SAYS 

 DINO HOKEY POKEY

 Mrs. Angela and class watched a homemade volcano erupt.

 Pushing macaroni into the play-doh to make an imprint.

FALL FESTIVAL AND HEALTHY BODIES!!!!!!

Thanks to all the families who participated in the fall festival and supported  our school.  Everyone had a great time.  The rest of the week we discussed and learned what we have to do to make and keep our bodies healthy. 

 Fun at the Fall Festival!!!!!!!!!

 Number puzzles.

 Making matches like the shoe goes with the sock.

 Listening for my heart beat with a little help from my friend.

 I know it's in there somewhere.

 Mr. Mouth is hungry for good food.  Not only did the kids have to pick out healthy food, but they had to tell me its initial sound.

 One thing we learned was exercise was important for our bodies.  All of us got to try to jump rope.  For many of us it was our first attempt.

 Playing with flannel board pieces of healthy food for our bodies.

 Mrs. Angela brought in a healthy fruit that most of us had never eaten.  It was the pomegranate and here she asked for more seeds to eat.

 We made a graph to see who like the pomegranate.
