We took a walk in Southern Village and found a fun photo op that we will display in the hall soon. The Blue Whales were wonderful safekeepers on the walk and enjoyed the change of scenery. We went on a nature walk around the church to collect pinecones and any other items that caught our attention. We used our nature finds for nature art.
The Blue Whales were all about creating this week. They made some adorable turkeys with pinecones and feathers. It is so wonderful to see everyone’s turkeys look so different as each child adds their personality to their works of art. Autumn led the class in making popsicle turkeys like the one she made at home. It was a fun project and Autumn was so helpful to her friends.
We did another page in our journal where each child said what they were thankful for and that always makes us smile.
We feel very lucky to be part of the Christ Church Preschool family and the Blue Whales family. We loved hearing about each of our Blue Whale friend’s families. Everyone did a great job with getting in front of the class and talking about their family photo. We continued our focus on numbers and talked about how many people are in our families.
We had Guess-n-Tell and Oli did a great job with three clues about his item and calling on friends to guess the item. The Blue Whales were able to guess Oli’s item because of his great clues.
We had our first Blue Whale birthday celebration for Leland and we enjoyed listening to his favorite book. Leland’s mom brought in yummy popsicles to share with the class.
We do have school on Monday and Tuesday next week. We will not be changing classroom jobs; each child will have the same job from this week.
Preschool is closed Wednesday, November 27th through Friday, November 29th for Thanksgiving break.
We understand some of our families will be starting their travels soon and may not be at school next week. Ms. Beth and I would like to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving. We are so thankful for our amazing and adorable Blue Whales and our fabulous families.
We are enjoying creating, moving, singing, discussing, observing, reading and playing with our Blue Whale friends. Hope everyone has a nice weekend.
