We had a really silly day today!  Right after Morning Work we headed over to the church to practice for our Thanksgiving program, then we walked around the garden looking up into the trees for fall-colored leaves, then we came in to have centers!  We can't wait to show off our singing at our program tomorrow!

After our Morning Work we headed out to the playground.  Although it was a beautiful day, some of decided to "nap" instead of play!



We came back inside and started our centers.  At Miss Paula's center we worked on our December calendars.  We had to listen to directions and use our fine motor skills to put all of the pieces in the right spots.  At Miss Kathleen's center we finished our costumes for the Thanksgiving program, then played in the fall sensory tub.  At our rug center we're still playing with our pirate ship and puppets, and today we had Lincoln Logs too!  Centers were a lot of fun!

We had such a silly day today!  Because we had music with Miss Jenna and practice for our Thanksgiving program, we didn't even have time for centers!  Instead we had a longer time for Morning Work--and Miss Paula and Miss Kathleen helped us stamp our costumes for next week's program.

We started working on another floor puzzle during Morning Work today.  We practiced looking for straight edges, using the picture on the box, and teamwork!  We also used teamwork to take some more cans down to our Second Harvest Food Drive barrels.



We spent a little longer than usual on the playground this morning since it might be our last warm day for a while.  We had a great time!



When we came back inside we got ready for centers.  At our rug center we had our Gear Table and our Pirate Ship--and we had a lot of fun with both of them.  At Miss Paula's table we made creations with Pop-Arty Beads.  All of us loved making cool things with these--and they are a great way to work our finger muscles and fine motor skills!  At Miss Kathleen's center, we made turkey legs (and then pretended to eat them!)  While we waited for our friends to finish at their centers we used our mosaic tiles to make designs.

We had a lot of fun working on our puzzle at Morning Work today.  Miss Paula wasn't at school so Miss Stacy helped us today.  We were really happy to have her!  We talked a little bit about Veterans' Day when we said our Pledge of Allegiance and sang "Salute the Flag".  We always do a really good job on this to show that we love our country.



We went outside and had a lot of fun.  On the way back inside we saw Paco the Lizard hiding by the gingerbread man!  We were very quiet so we didn't scare him.




We had our pirate ship and castle blocks again at our rug center.  We really enjoyed playing at that center. At Miss Stacy's center we showed her what good writers we were, then we worked on putting more puzzles together. At Miss Kathleen's center we made Indian corn then decorated our sticky board turkeys.  We found that the feathers make good ticklers too!

We started our morning by walking down to the barrels in the hall and putting lots of cans and jars in there to help families who might not have enough food.



Then we went outside for some playground fun before coming in and joining Miss Jenna for music.




At centers today we had our pirate ship and puppets along with our castle blocks on the rug.  That was fun!  At Miss Paula's center we used eyedroppers to add color to coffee filters.  We also made turkey heads that we'll attach for a Thanksgiving decoration. We'll get to bring them home on Monday when they're all dry.  At Miss Kathleen's center we turned our coffee filters from last month into flowers to bring home. Then we put feathers on our sticky board turkeys. They looked beautiful!
**We made extra turkeys and flowers at our centers for our friends who weren't at school today so everyone would have one!
