THANKSGIVING IS COMING SOON, and this week, we are planning on making a cornucopia full of fruits and vegetables. I am planning to bring in real examples of the paper foods that we will glue to our cornucopia so the children can see and feel them as we talk about the names of the foods and about thankfulness. Our Bible story this week is "Jesus Turns Water Into Wine." We will be learning a new turkey song set to the tune of "I'm a Little Teapot" called "I'm a Great Big Turkey" (see words below). For our felt board, we have a turkey with different colored feathers which we will be singing a rhyme as I take a feather away. The children will guess which color was taken away from our turkey (see rhyme below). Other songs we will sing are "Praise Him," "This Little Light of Mine," Jesus Loves the Little Children," and "Itsy, Bitsy Spider."
Our storytime this week will be "Today is Monday," an Eric Carle story/song about the foods we eat on different days of the week. Also, "How are You Peeling?" which shares different fruits and vegetables with faces showing all the different emotions.
I'M A GREAT BIG TURKEY
I'm a great big turkey
'Cause I'm well fed.
Watch me spread my feathers.
Watch me bob my head.
When I strut around
I waddle, waddle, waddle.
And when I talk
I "gobble, gobble, gobble."
I'm a great big turkey
And I'd love to stay.
But Thanksgiving's coming.
So it's time to run away!
TURKEY FEATHERS
Turkey feathers, turkey feathers,
red, yellow, green, red, yellow, green.
Which one is missing? Which one is missing?
Name it now. Name it now.
Please continue to bring warm outerwear as the children play outside even as the weather is getting cooler.
Also, several weeks ago, we found a ring in our room on the floor after several children had been checked in. It seems as if it might have fallen off of one of those children. If you are missing a ring, please check at the office to claim it.
Have a blessed week,
Mrs. Shelly
