Cranberry Sauce?

 Okay we are four (2 of us are already five) so cranberry sauce may be a little out of the realm of expectation.... but we all came together to prepare some for our feast next week.  Fresh cranberries, diced apples, apple juice and some sugar?  It looked tasty to us... but we'll see who is brave enough to taste it next week. 

Looks Like A Feast....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The feast is coming.... and here we are showing off some of our work.  We have been working hard learning all about the Native Americans and the Pilgrims.  It is good to know that we all get along and work hard at being "bucket fillers."  I am pretty sure that is how it all came together to make the first Thanksgiving so wonderful.

We Are Thankful For Sunny Days!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, it has been sunny for a few days and our playground just started to dry out.  The temperature has been just right for playing outside and we LOVE it.  We have talked so much about being thankful.... but all of us agree that we are thankful for the sun!!!

Pilgrim Toys

 

 

Okay maybe it sounded kinda cool to be a Pilgrim and even kinda fun to go on the Mayflower... BUT after further exploration I think we agree that we are thankful that we don't have to live the Pilgrim lifestyle.  Here we are with a wooden "catch" game that could be similar to a Pilgrim toy.  Although it was fun for a few minutes... we like our modern toys much better.

 

More Show & Tell

 

 

More show & tell fun from this week.  It is always nice to bring in something special from home to share with our class... but we take extra precautions to keep everyone healthy in our room - even show & tell.  We keep our hands to ourselves... no one wants to get sick before the holidays....

Show & Tell

 

 

 

 

Just another peek into our show & tell time.... No matter how many times we see what our friends bring... WE LOVE IT!!!!

We Are God's Quilt

 

 

Several weeks back we started making our quilts for the letter Q.  This was a four step process which we finished last week when we talked about what it means to be "thankful."  We looked at quilts along the way and saw that they were made up of different things and that long ago, these things were scraps of fabric that were pretty priceless because there were no stores to run to buy more.  So here is our finished project.  Each child has a four piece quilt and the back side is plain muslin.  This can be used as a "memory" quilt for this Thanksgiving.  Families can trace hands or write messages or just names - because Thanksgiving is for giving thanks.
