A turkey is a funny bird
The children have been using bright and beautiful water colors to create turkey feathers. This week we have been talking about the Thanksgiving holiday and they couldn’t wait to create their own turkeys! Here is a song we have been singing that you can try to sing at home!
(to the tune of “Pop Goes the Weasel”)
A Turkey is a funny bird
His head goes Wobble, Wobble
He only knows one word…
Gobble, Gobble, Gobble!
Our annual art has come and gone, but here are some pics to enjoy. We really appreciate everyone joining us to celebrate all of the wonderful artwork the children had displayed. They worked so hard and we LOVED seeing the kids take center state for the night! We thank Ms. Penny for all of her hard work for the show AND with the children!
sensory table colored pasta
This week our sensory table is full of colorful noodles! The kids have been digging their hands in this colorful pasta and scooping and dumping it! They have been using spoons to scoop the noodles into the bowls and pretend they are making soup! Since all of the noodles are different colors this has been a great way to practice our color recognition as well!
N is for necklace
This afternoon at group time we learned the letter “N”. For our art project today we made necklaces for the letter “N”. Here you can see Rutva, Caroline and Connor working so hard at stringing the beads onto their necklaces. They did a wonderful job working with those fine motor skills to make beautiful necklaces!
Today we learned the letter “N”. To help reinforce the sound the letter “N” makes, we made Necklaces! With a lot of concentration, the kids were determined to string the beads onto their necklaces all by themselves! Their fine motor skills were hard at work during this activity!
counting pegs
The children have been practicing their counting with these wonderful counting peg boards. This activity is great for practicing number recognition and one to one correspondence. We also talked about the color of each peg. The kids were using their fine motor skills all morning long as they practiced their counting!
balloon dipping and the letter "Bb"
Thursday morning we used balloons for an art project to reinforce our letter of the week! The kids were able to dip balloons into purple and yellow paint to make balloon prints on their papers! As they pushed the balloon onto the paper we made the letter B sound.

how many cookies in the cookie jar?
Today at our manipulative table, we set out cookie jars with the numbers 1-5 on them. The kids had fun putting the corresponding number of cookies in each jar. Here is Eve putting five cookies into her cookie jar and counting each one as she put them in! The cookies also had a certain number of chocolate chips on them which was good practice for counting.
