Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Happy Thanksgiving Preschool Families!
     November is flying by and Christmas Break will be here before we know it!  We finished up our study of homes last week and now we are learning about food.  We read the book "A House for Hermit Crab" by Eric Carle and talked about the hermit crab we have in our classroom.  We also matched pictures of animals to their homes.

     We made "Friendship Soup" this week.  Each child was asked to bring something to contribute to our soup.  All of the children helped make the soup and then we ate it.  The children also made a turkey with hand prints and a cut out of their foot.  Some of the children's cutting skills have really improved already this year.  Keep practicing cutting at home.  Fun things for children to cut include strips of paper, straws, and play-doh.   


*Book Orders for November and December due 11/29 - I hope you will give your child the gift of reading this Holiday season!

Homework
*Thanksgiving page.  Ask your child what he/she ate on Thanksgiving.  Write, draw, or cut out pictures to illustrate some of the things you ate on Thanksgiving.  The children will share their page with the class next week.
