So many turkeys (sorry this is sooo late)

Hi families, well my aplogies for not blogging much lately. I have been super busy and have kept putting this off. I really wanted you to see some pics from the week before our Thanksgiving break. We made so many different turkeys, talked about why we celebrate thanksgiving and all the kids told me lots of things they were thankful for. We had even more fun preparing to be Native Americans. I got to wear a great-looking turkey costume, because it's just not Thanksgiving without a big turkey!

Our class tipi. Everyone decorated a tipi "skin" with Native American symbols to put on our tipi.

These are the Native American Headbands the kids made. They turned out great! They had to use the shapes to make a pattern.

Don't eat these turkeys!

One of my favorite Thanksgiving books. Juli disguised her turkey to look like a cow.

Tyler and Zariya share what they are thankful for...



Happy Thanksgiving from Mrs. O's class!

Spiders, Pancakes, and Pajamas!

These pics are all from last week. It was full of fun activities. We studied spiders and everyone got to paint a spider with their hands.

Last week was all about the letter Pp. We read one of my favorite books by one of my favorite authors, Kevin Henkes. The book is called Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse. Then, we made purses and filled them with things that start with the letter Pp. (The boys didn't mind making purses, but the girls LOVED this)

We read another great book, If you give a pig a pancake, and made a class book together. We also ate pancakes!! This was a yummy snack. Most of the kids even licked the syrup off their plates!

The kids loved wearing their pajamas to school! (Teachers too!) We colored pajamas and wrote in our journals about them.

Happy Pajama Day!

Pumpkins and Silly Socks!

Last week we learned a lot about pumpkins! We took the circumference of a pumpkin:

We learned how pumpkins grow:

We carved a pumpkin:

Everyone got to reach their hand in the pumpkin and take out some slimy seeds:

Silly Sock Day!

 Silly and Sock start with ssssssssss. (My silly socks made it in this pic :))

Our Trip to the Pond

Kindergarten has been studying different bodies of water and we are so fortunate to have a pond in our very own community. This pond is just few blocks away from the school and the very nice family who has this pond in their backyard allows us to come take a look. The weather was a little chilly so sadly we did not see any fish or other animals, but the kids still had a great time.
