It was a short week but we really enjoyed the three days that we had together. This week we learned about the Pilgrims and Indians. We talked about how they formed friendships with each other. We also discussed how the Indians helped the Pilgrims learn how to hunt, fish and and grow corn. It was so nice to hear the children speak of kindness and what they are thankful for.
Today, we all enjoyed the movie, Charlie Brown's Thankgiving, while snacking on Snoopy's favorite Thanksgiving Day treats; popcorn, jelly beans and pretzels. The children did a fantastic job recognizing how the Pilgrims lived, how the Indians helped and how hard the journey was on the Mayflower, while watching the Mayflower Voyage. I was really impressed with their answers and questions during the movie.
We also finished our paper plate turkeys today. The children loved making the Indian hats and look so precious wearing them. We ended our three day week with a game of pin the tail feather on the turkey! Giggles where heard as each friend was blindfolded and spun around three times before being let go to find the turkey!
Please enjoy your four day weekend and have a very Happy Thanksgiving!
