We had so much fun this week talking about Thanksgiving and all the things we're thankful for. We learned a lot about the Pilgrims and Native Americans and their first feast together. We even got to experience a special visit from a Native American woman who taught us so much about her culture, including a dance for our whole school to enjoy together. What a fun week!
I've also included some cute videos the kids got to see this week!
"T" is for Thankful Turkeys, and we certainly have very thankful kiddos. They had so many cute things to say about what they're thankful for.

What is it about little kids' hand prints that is just so stinking cute?! :)
Indian Corn Prayer Craft
We got to glue buttons on our papers for the first time. Definitely a tricky activity, but these little hands managed to do it!
We used our family photos in our frames this week, and we even spelled out the word "Family" with our foam letters. They turned out so cute!
Q-Tip Painting with Brown "T"s
This was our #2 booklet that we didn't get a chance to complete this week, so I sent it home for a few extra things to try at home. No need to return it. It's just for fun!
Our special visit from the Native American woman
This picture doesn't even do her shawl justice. It was gorgeous, and the kids loved touching all the soft fringes at the bottom.
She taught us all a short dance to do in a large circle.
Enjoying some time with our friends in the classroom.
This little get-up was too funny not to take a picture of!
One of our last warm and sunny days for a while I'm afraid. It was beautiful!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! See you in 2 weeks!
