HAPPY THANKSGIVING--
This week will be our Thanksgiving week, and our Bible story is "The 10 Lepers" and how only one remembered to return and thank Jesus for healing him. We will paint "Thankful Turkeys" using our cut-out handprints for his feathers. Our songs this week include: "Peace Like a River (joy like fountain/love like ocean)," "I'm in the Lord's Army," "Thank you, Lord for Saving My Soul," "ABC Song," and "I'm a Great Big Turkey." For snack we will enjoy Fig Newton cookies.
During opening time along with our music and movement, we will continue painting the animals to complete our "Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See?" book. We will paint Purple Cat with purple pom poms attached to clothes pins. For the final page our of book we hope to include a family picture for each child. You may begin to bring these in so we can include them at the end of the books. We will also have coloring time where we will trace the children's hands and make them into turkeys.
Storytime this week includes a new story by Alyssa Satin Capucilli called "Happy Thanksgiving, Biscuit!. This little puppy and the little girl share all they have to be thankful for as they spend Thanksgiving day together. Another fun story is "It Looked Like Spilt Milk" by Charles Shaw about spilled milk and the many things it may look like.
We will play our felt board activity of "Turkey Feathers, which is missing?" as we say a rhyme and take away the red, yellow, or green feathers. The children then say the color that has been taken away.
Please continue to dress your children warmly so they can play outside for about 30 minutes and be happy. Thank you.
Have a blessed (not stressed) week!
Mrs. Shelly
