Happy Thanksgiving!!

We had a great Big picnic. Everybody enjoyed the fish sticks and bread and especially the ketchup. A few of my friends even wore their Jesus clothes. The puppet show was wonderful and the kids enjoyed dancing and singing. It can be a bit overwhelming for some.

In the owl room we played with play dough and feathers. We smashed cranberries with hammers and painted a turkeys. We also had so much fun singing the turkey song and gobbling. We played outside and of course had a special treat. We had a great week!!

Thank you so much for sharing your sweet babies with me. It is such a joy to have them in my class. Have a fun and safe Thanksgiving. Enjoy your sweet babies!! They grow up to fast.

Enjoy the pictures!!

With love,

Happy Thanksgiving,

We will be celebrating Thanksgiving this week with the big picnic. The Big Picnic will start at 11:00 on all three days this week. We will be having fish sticks, bread and goldfish. As always you are welcome to come. We will watch a puppet show, sing and dance and eat our fish sticks on the side yard. Please bring a scarf or bandanna to wear on our heads like Jesus wore. (some do not keep it on, but I will try)

Last week we had an awesome week. I think we are finally all settled in and enjoying school. We scooped the squirrels and turkeys and worked on sorting the squirrels and turkeys into different bowls. I am so proud of my smart owls. We wrote with chalk at the easel and worked on our fine motor skills by sticking feathers in a colander. We read books and sang the turkey song. Gobble Gobble.
We played with Ms. Betty, she opened up her tunnel. We had so much fun crawling through the tunnel and playing with her little soccer balls.
We went to chapel and walked like Jesus. Everyone has been asking who SCRAPPY and SCRUFFY are. Ms. Melinda has two dog puppets that introduce the bible stories. The kids love them. We get to pet the puppets before the story starts.

We had an awesome week and there are new pictures.

With Love,
Ms. Tracee

Happy Monday sweet owls,

Time is flying, can't believe it is two weeks until Thanksgiving. Time to start shopping.
We had so much fun last week getting our picture taken. All of my friends did great. You will be amazed at what they get your little ones to do.
In our classroom we painted, scooped the beans and of course sang spider on my head, we put together puzzles, and read books. We also played outside in the cool air. It was so much fun.
In chapel we read about David and Goliath and threw the "rocks" at Goliath. We sang and danced and got the very important stamp.

I look forward to this week we will be playing with Mr. Turkey and talking about all things fall.

(I did not post new pictures because it takes a while to get our pictures made and I did not think we needed pictures of owls getting their picture made, so I took a week off)

With Love,
Ms. Tracee
