Gingerbread

 This week we read a few different Gingerbread stories. We painted with paint that smelled like Gingerbread... we made and played with Gingerbread play dough... we made applesauce/cinnamon ornaments that smell so good. Friday we made and ate Gingerbread cookies. We had a delicious smelling week! Our VIP shared some of his favorite things, his poster, Adventures with Norman, and his daddy joined us for lunch on Thursday!

Thanksgiving 🦃

Image
This week we learned about the first Thanksgiving. We also talked more about what we are thankful for and our favorite Thanksgiving food! We learned two Thanksgiving songs "The Cranberry Rolled Away" and "Albuquerque Turkey"  We discovered cranberries float and they are yummy after they are cooked, but not before! We learned that Native Americans communicated with pictures and we tried the same with our whiteboards. We painted with feathers, watercolored a feather, and made a turkey.  Our VIP shared her poster, her favorite book, and some of her favorite things. We hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
