Three’s Company

We had a busy but fun week! Monday and Tuesday we decorated our November calendars with turkey hand prints. Some of us were a little apprehensive about getting paint all over our hands but we did it. We also made “I am thankful for…” pumpkins. Thank you for cutting out their favorite foods and sending them in. The children painted orange circles and pressed their favorite food pictures onto their pumpkins. We learned that every good gift, including good food, comes from God and we thank Him for all His blessings.

On Wednesday and Thursday we had some fun singing to our parents, grandparents and friends. I think their favorite song was “Five Little Blackbirds sitting in a tree teasing Mr. Scarecrow, ‘You can’t scare me, you can’t scare me.’ Along comes Mr. Scarecrow as quiet as can be. ‘Boo!’ Four little blackbirds sitting in a tree…”

We had a nice party and enjoyed all the yummy goodies you all brought in. Thanks! Thank you to the moms and dad who helped prepare and serve our party snacks too!

After our party we met the firemen. We were a little uncertain as we watched them dress up in their fire equipment but we showed the children that even though they look a little scary they are our friends and if we are ever in a fire the firemen will take us to our parents. When we got back to the classroom each of us practiced crawling  under the smoke, out of our houses and dialing 9-1-1. I hope you all got a chance to check out the fire truck.

Monday/Tuesday begins purple week! Can you think of things that are the color purple?
