Thanksgiving manners and Turkey talk

            We began learning about manners and sang the song, Three Nice Mice.  We also met Mr. Turkey who is missing his feathers, later on the kids will make him some, but we did talk about what colors we might see on his feathers and what food he may have eaten to get such beautiful colors.  Later in the week they learned about the turkey’s body parts such as the snood, wattle, beard, caruncles, a male turkey is called a Tom and the female is called a Hen.

                On Tuesday we had SEE’s election, all the children filled out a secret ballot, and they voted for a Donkey, Elephant, or a Pig.  After tallying up the votes the Elephant won by one vote, the donkey was in a close second place and third place went to the Pig.

                Preschooler made a fun Turkey using a hand print and painting some of his features.  Friends worked together to make a Jurassic city using blocks and little dinosaurs to live in it.  They learned about manners and how to be Respectful and Kind to one another.

                 The Pre-K class made an “I voted ribbons” by gluing red , white and blue ribbons onto a big white circle with stars and a picture of the animal they voted for, they were very proud of their work and we chatted about how important their vote was.  This week’s word of the week was FISH and they glued shiny sequins on to their fish after following directions on how to trace the letters.  They also named their fish; some were named Shiny, Rainbow, Butterfly, and more fun names.  A picture below shows the engineering skills of Pre–K friends problem solving how the tubed pipes should be placed so that the ball will successfully make it to the end, what a terrify job they did!

                 Though it was a short week, it was a busy one with Movement with Ms. Marybeth, Music with Mr. Ed and a surprise guess reader a former SEE preschooler named Tess McCann!

What's up next?
