Thanksgiving Week!

It is almost Thanksgiving Break! I can't believe how fast this year feels like it's flying by! I wanted to share with you some of the things we have been doing lately in our room!

Last week, we had different groups of kids give their idea of "How to cook a turkey." This is one of my favorite things to do with little kids! They were so serious and all decided as a group the best way to cook a turkey, what to serve with it, and what to put on it. It was a ton of fun and they laugh every time they hear one of their recipes! They think that maybe you will use one of their recipes for Thanksgiving dinner at home! :) If you want a copy of your child's' recipe, let me know and I can send one home!

Enjoy!

We also got back quite a few turkeys that were sent home to decorate as a family! These are all up in the hallway at school and they have so much fun walking by and finding their turkey as well as getting to see all of the items other kids used to decorate theirs!

We did some turkey painting, talked about what we are thankful for, and also made some turkeys encouraging other people to eat things other than turkeys for Thanksgiving!

We talked about what we were thankful for, made some turkey hats, and learned our awesome turkey poem! It was a fun week!

I hope you enjoy your long break! See you all on Tuesday!

Thanksgiving Riddle

I am not a drumstick,

No not yet!
I need to eat more,

So fat I'll get!

Corn is what I like

And lots of grain.

Sometimes I gobble,

 Can you guess my name?

If you guessed my name

On your first try.

You know I have a problem, 

I don't have to tell you why.

If you would be so kind,

I have one wish.

Help me out,

Eat eat some FISH!

Thanks for being the Owl of the Week, Grace!

Reminders

We have been so busy lately in Kindergarten!

We have just taken our Unit 2 math test and started Unit 3 on Monday! Week 4 of Literacy started on Monday as well! I can't believe we've been in school this long already!

Just a few reminders of some things coming up :

• Holiday book orders went home in Wednesday folders last week. If you were thinking of buying any books for anyone for Christmas or anything, this is a great book order to pick from! There are some really great books for amazing prices! We have earned so many awesome books for our classroom because of the amount of orders we have had turned in so thank you for that! November 22nd is the due date!
• Meadow Lane t-shirt order forms also went home in Wednesday folders last week. These orders are due by November 22nd. There is a sample shirt on the order form and in the front hallway at Meadow Lane!
• Thanksgiving Break starts Wednesday, November 27th. Tuesday, November 26th is a PLC day and Monday, December 2nd is a no school day as well. I hope your kiddos enjoy this long, much needed break!
• We practiced some code red drills in our room and school last week. Ask your student if they know what to do if a code red ever happens. They should hopefully be able to tell you exactly what their job is!
• We got 5 Brownies on Wednesday and got to have an extra recess outside! We had a ton of fun playing in all the leaves that were all over our playground!
• Don't forget to return your decorated turkeys for us to hang up in the hallway!

I hope you have a great weekend and are ready for a quick week back before Thanksgiving!

Meet A Kindergartener: Sierra

Meet A Kindergartener: Taylor

Halloween

We had a ton of fun on Halloween in our classroom!

We started with a balloon pumpkin filled with prizes inside. The students got to pop the balloons to find their fall prize!

Then we got to go outside and play lots of fun Fall games with some of our other Kindergarten friends! There was pumpkin bowling, pin the nose on the pumpkin, a ring toss, pumpkin bowling, some fun math matching games, and many more! We had a lot of fun outside working together with a partner!

After specials, we got to create our own snack using lots of ingredients like rice crispies, m and m's, twizzlers, and frosting!

We had a ton of fun on Thursday! I hope you had a great time celebrating too!
