Family and Thanksgiving Nov 11-15, 2019

We spent our week thinking about what we are thankful for...what fills our hearts with happiness.
The people in our families topped our list! After reading My Heart Fills with Happiness each child drew what fills their heart with happiness.

We read many books by Todd Parr like The Family Book, The Grandpa Book, The Thankful Book, and a few others. We made family pictures using shapes for the heads and bodies and then added details.

We finished our week with Family Fun Day and were so happy to share our day with our immediate and extended family members. 

We are thankful for friends to play with and do projects with. We paired up and helped each other trace our foot and made a foot-friend.

Cooking makes us happy too. We made cutout cookies (whole wheat with chia seeds) to share with our families during Family Fun Day. We frosted them with nutella and added some sprinkles--yummy!

Turkeys made an appearance too. We decorated a turkey shape with our names and we dressed Mr. Turkey with paper feathers as we sang together.

Next week we will act out some nursery rhymes.
