Thanksgiving Week 3&4

Tuesday my kiddos were sick so we had to cancel and the next Thursday is Thanksgiving so we are not doing preschool.  So here is the two preschools we had in the last couple weeks.

Thursday's Schedule -

Book - Thanksgiving Bracelet
On pinterst I found a Thanksgiving story that you make a bracelet while reading it.

It was a cute story and making a bracelet was a hit.

Math - Turkey Walk
I printed pictures of turkeys out and put numbers 1-10 on them.  I placed them in a circle on the ground.  The kids walked on the turkeys while the music played and when it stopped they stopped and named the number they were on.  After doing this for a little we also moved the turkeys all over the room.  The kids just danced were ever when the music played and then when it stopped ran to the closes turkey and named what number was on it.  Also a fun activity!

Phonics - Find the Turkey
I had leaves with letters on them.  I laid them out on the floor and hide two turkeys under two of them.   The kids took turns guessing what letter leaf the turkey was under.  They really liked playing this.

Art - Turkey Feathers
I cut out and made turkey bodies for each kid and stuck them to contact paper.  The kids put their feathers and glitter on the turkey (sticking to the contact paper).  They turned out really cute and the kids loved making a mess :)

Movement - Where's the Silly Turkey
I had printed out a silly looking turkey and we took turns hiding the silly turkey.  Hide and seek is a big game at our house.  They loved being the ones that hid the turkey.


Tuesday's Schedule -

Book - Thanksgiving Story
I found a little video on youtube that was cute and explained Thanksgiving.

We had a Thanksgiving Feast for preschool.  The kids and I worked together to make the meal.
They all had aprons to put on, dressing the part is important.

We started with making chocolate chip cookies.  They were so good at waiting their turn to add an ingredient.  They loved scooping out the cookie dough and placing them on the pan the most.

We then placed rolls in the pans, chopped up bananas, rolled their turkey meat, and opened green beans can.

Then we set the table.  They helped me lay the table cloth out and colored it while everything was baking.

Then we dug in.  A super fun feast and the kids made it all!
