The children made pumpkin pie art.
Something new in our sensory table. Leaves and bugs! :)
We read many Thanksgiving books the past few weeks including:
And a favorite that was requested over and over......
I changed some of the words ")
On Wednesday, the children got to snap green beans! I talked with the children about snapping the "stems" off and then snapping the beans in half and putting them in the pot. They went through 2 pounds of green beans in about 15 minutes!
If you need help preparing the Thanksgiving meal, you know who to call!
I washed the beans and then we took the pot to the big kitchen to cook while we played outside on the playground. Later in the morning, after the beans had cooled down, we sampled some . I'd say the reaction was mixed. :)
On Wednesday, the children also made an "apple pie" snack. They were each given a graham cracker in a baggie, that they had to crush. Then I gave them some cooked apples in a cup and they added their crushed graham cracker. Finally, I topped it off with whipped cream, hmmm....
The whipped cream was a BIG hit and there were many requests for seconds on the whipped cream!
On Friday, the children enjoyed a special Thanksgiving treat.
Thank you Avery for the turkey cookies and the fun hats!
Thanksgiving activities and classroom fun.
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
