This week we are talking about shapes and colors! Today, we read Buttons, Buttons. We helped read the book by naming the colors and shapes of the buttons. Next, we laced colorful shape buttons onto shoelaces and fuzzy sticks. We also explore colors on the light table using transparent colored circles and rectangles. It was really neat when they were overlapped because they would make a new color! Later, we play an "I spy" game searching for certain shapes and colors.

We had to shut the light off so you could see what we were using. This was really neat! 

Today, we read Bear Says Thanks! We talked about what we are thankful for and how we are going to say "thanks" at our Thanksgiving dinners. For our activities we: painted with feathers, laced feather through straws, and matched feathers to colored holes in an egg carton. We had a great day! 

Today, we read Turkey Trouble! We matched pictures of pilgrims, indians, turkeys, and cornucopias. We stamped pictures of turkeys, leaves, suns, and scarecrows. We also made kitchen music! Your kids might put on a kitchen music show for you, so if they are into the pots and pans that maybe why! Remember we are closed Wednesday-Friday this week for Thanksgiving!

Today we had a visitor Deanna Amos! She brought in her spinning wheel and loom! She sowed us how to make yarn and turn yarn into different things like scarfs and  blankets.  Thank you Deanna Amos! In our groups today, we talked about what would happen if a pinecone were to be drop into hot and cold water, and an empty cup! When we put our pinecones into the cups we watched what happened and saw if we were right. In our other group, we wrote in salt with a feather and talked about how it felt and what it looked like. In our last group, we put together thanksgiving puzzles and talked about what they made.

Today we celebrated A with his parents and him being star of the week! In circle time we read The Littlest Pilgrim. We did 3 small groups today! In our first small group we blew feather's across the table with turkey baster. In our second small group we scooped out cranberries and followed the green line to dumb it in another basket! Lastly we shook a basket full of Indian rocks and counted how many rocks turned over with the moon side up!
