November Happenings!

Look what we've been up to the past couple of weeks.

Sticky Table Turkeys
This class just loves the sticky table.

Feathers in the Play Dough center for Turkeys

Tents, Turkeys, Turtles, and Teddy Bear Day for Letter T Week

Some Teddy Bears were pampered.

Teddy Bear Tea Parties

 Sorting Teddy Bears in a variety of ways. 

These three all have words on them.

 Turtle Time!

Duct Tape Indian hats for letter I week

Pumpkin Pies:
Orange paint and cinnamon; "stir" your ingredients up on the "pie plate". Let dry. Cut pie pieces.  (Circle and Triangle work)

Tom the Turkey helped us count DOWN to Thanksgiving.

We plucked a feather for each day.

We counted UP on our calendar to Thanksgiving and we counted DOWN on Tom the Turkey.

Happy Thanksgiving! 

I am very thankful for this group of kids!

Counting in December

We have been counting like crazy for the last several weeks.
Counting like Santa, counting like munchkins, counting like cowboys and cowgirls, counting like football players, counting like princesses . . . whatever it takes to keep everyone counting.

It's always cute to hear kids struggle through their "teens". 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 16, 14, 18, 13. . but the time does come where we hope they can count through them correctly.

We've made some great progress and moved closer to our goal of being able to count to 100.

We've been counting our calendar days starting from one every day.

Counting how many days till Christmas.

(Each kid took one of these home at the beginning of the month.)

My favorite thing we counted this month . . . PENNIES.

With all our talk of Baby Jesus this month I decided to give the kids an opportunity to help feed a baby.

The bonus was all the counting we got to do.

Kids were invited to bring pennies all month for our penny jar.

It costs $9 to feed a baby for one week.

We had a grand total of $17.31

YEAH ! ! !

The organization I went through is one that I am familiar with and trust - Samaritan's Purse.

We'll keep counting things in January!
