Family Pix

Thanks for sharing in our Thanksgiving Feast. It was so good to see our families together for lunch. We appreciate all the food you brought. We have so much for which to be thankful.

Trivia

A group of turkeys is called a rafter, although a gang is also an acceptable name. They have also alternately been called a gobble, although this definition is colloquial and does not appear in dictionaries. Baby turkeys are called poults.

I promised...

...a picture of our bulletin board. Our thankful "bunch" of turkeys. Hummmm...a gaggle of geese, a flock of seagulls, a covey of quails...what do you call a "bunch" of turkeys??? A feast? Stay tuned. I'll google it and let you know.

Thanksgiving Lunch Info

Our Thanksgiving Feast will be this Tuesday, November 24 in the gym. Thank you to those who have signed up to bring food. We ask that you take the food to the gym by 10:45, so we can begin going through the serving line at 11:00. We expect about 32 attendees from our class including our own little Pilgrims and Indians. Look forward to seeing you Tuesday!

Rainy Day means Inside Play

We've had such great fall weather that our class hasn't played in the gym for a while. Today's rain allowed us to play inside. Ava loved the trampoline and Jillian waited her turn.

Nicholas and Emma are playing with the cones.

Gobble Gobble

Happy Thursday! Our class talked turkey today. We made turkeys for the bulletin board. Each tail feather represents something that student is thankful for. The list includes everything from Mommy and Daddy to Barbies, sharks, and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Be sure to look at our board next time you are in our class. (Picture will be posted soon).

We also made "Where is Turkey?" books. More turkey and Thanksgiving crafts are in store next week.

Hazel Dell Christian Preschool with be hosting a Thanksgiving Feast for our students and parents. Our feast will be held on Tuesday, November 24 at 11:00 in the gym. The preschool will provide the meat. We are asking each family to bring one dish (vegetables, fruit, bread, dessert, etc.) to feed 12 families. There will be 2 sign-up sheets available--one for the number attending and one for the food. We are thankful that we have the opportunity to love and lead your child and it is our desire to share this special time of year with all.

Green Glitter + Goats Gruff + Goldfish = Great Day

Gg is for Great Guys and Gals! We have such a good class and our children stay so busy. Here's a recap for today...Colored 9 (our number for the week is nine) Goofy Girly birds, put nine globs of glue on the letter G and sprinkled on green glitter, played Duck, Duck, Goose, played grocery store, worked a gorilla puzzle, played with cars in the garage and had goldfish for snack. In Bible time we are learning about David and Goliath. We read stories about the Three Billy Goats Gruff, Glad Monster and First Thanksgiving Day. Goodness Gracious!

What a day...

..to have the camera batteries die! What a day of fun! What a day of excitement! What a day of learning! Ff is for Firefighter. Firefighter Dutch visited our school. He dressed in full gear, complete with air pack. He showed us how we should not be afraid of firefighters when they are wearing a mask and breathing like Darth Vader. Such a valuable lesson for us all. Unfortunately, children trapped in a fire have hidden from firefighters because they were afraid of them. Firefighter Dutch showed the children that sometimes a firefighter can look scary but if they are ever in a fire, they should wave their arms and say "Here I am!" He brought fire chief helmets for each child too! Thanks so much, Dutch! We appreciate you and all your fellow firefighters.
Here's a "not so scary" picture of Dutch (who happens to be my son-in-law) with his family, Erin and little Liv. Yes...I am proud.

Fun with Letter Ff

Our class was all present and accounted for! Hooray! We are all healthy enough to be back to school. Hope you all enjoyed your fall break.

This week we are learning about the letter Ff and the number 8. We counted and glued 8 feathers on an F. (The glue is still drying. Look for it to come home on Thursday). Today we read the book titled A Fly Went By. We had fun guessing what would happen next. We learned a new song about a Little Fishy Swimming in the Bay. Playing outside was so much fun today. It was a beautiful sunny day.

A new month means a new Bible memory verse. Remember to "give thanks to the Lord" for our health, our children and a gorgeous fall day.

Happy Birthday to Alex!

Wishing Alex a very happy birthday!
