week of November 15

This week your children continued working on our Thanksgiving theme unit.  They worked on  their fine motor skills by tracing their own hands then cut them out to create our beautiful hand and foot turkeys.   They continued to work on these skills by baking pumpkin cookies we mixed , counted and measured as we made these delicious treats.  After the baking was done it was onto the decorating process each child frosted and sprinkled their cookies.  We made so many we shared them with the half note and whole note classes for snack the next day. Your children were so proud of the treats they made! We sang many Thanksgiving songs and finger plays as well.  We read books about the solar system and stories about family. In music this week we continued to learn new songs practiced our galloping to music and played the drum and xylophone . The weather was typical this week some days we played outside for long periods of time and others we stayed out as long as we could then continued to play inside.  Have a great weekend see you Monday Misss Susan
