 Dear Parents,

Can you believe that Thanksgiving is almost here?  The children have been busy preparing for this holiday.  Each child traced and cut out a yellow feather and dictated what they were thankful for.  Ozi was thankful for his Woofy; Nathaniel was thankful for his toys; Nina was thankful for her teacher, Hattie was thankful for Bede (her brother); Liaan was thankful for the teachers; Ella was thankful for her pretend baby; and Delia was thankful for her sister Chloe; and  I am thankful for the best class ever!

 The children then cut and decorated orange feathers, for our turkey “Ted,” using, stickers, sequins, and feathers. They also decorated his body with pompoms, and added a head with eyes, a beak and even a waddle.  Please stop by our classroom and look at the handsome turkey your children made, which are displayed on our bulletin board.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We also had a special visitor on Wednesday, Rachel and Ozi’s Mom, Kathryn.  She did an incredible job teaching the children yoga.  Some of the children actually stood on their head.  Thank you Kathryn for a great class!

 

 

 

 

This week in music with Lisa was so much fun.  The children learned some new songs, including Bow Wow Wow, where the children passed around a dog and each child sang his or her name. They also practiced singing some Thanksgiving songs.  In violin, the children practiced the rest position song and continued to practice the bunny bow holds.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                                                                        

 

We began making our Thanksgiving centerpieces by painting a brown base and a “campfire.”  We look forward to continuing working on our centerpieces next week.

 

Love,

 

Ms. Bonne and
