Sneak Peak
Week in Review:
at Next Week
We learned all about turkeys! Throughout the week, we read books about Thanksgiving and how the Native Americans helped the Pilgrims and we started making our 1st Thanksgiving book. We will use these to tell the story of the first Thanksgiving! We wrote about where we would hide if we were a turkey. We played many Thanksgiving learning games such as sounding out three letter words and matching them to the correct picture and putting the correct feathers on the correct turkey using beginning sounds. In math we explored ways to make ten such as 3 and 7, 5 and 4.

The next big celebration in Kindergarten is our Thanksgiving feast. The feast is Tuesday, November 21st. Our feast is not a party and therefore parent helpers are not needed. We will enjoy foods that could have been at the first Thanksgiving and we will make our own butter. We will retell the story of the first Thanksgiving and discuss things we are thankful for. This small meal will serve as a snack on this day. If you have any allergy concerns please contact me!
