Our Tt Party!

We had a great week! Thanksgiving is just around the corner, so we started off the week learning about the Mayflower and pilgrims. We finished up several Thanksgiving projects, including our Turkey wreaths. Each morning for the past couple of weeks, we have cut out hand outlines. Wednesday, we each used one hand cutout from each of our friends to make a "Thankful for our Friends" turkey. These came home Friday, along with our pilgrim picture frames, owls and nature collages from last week.

Tt was our focus letter, and we did a terrific job learning how to write it and make the sound. On Tuesday, we had a grand Tea Party! Using real cups and saucers, we drank hot tea and ate toast together, and other than handling the toaster, did everything ourselves. From adding sugar cubes (one lump or 2?), spreading butter, to washing dishes and setting the table, we took care of the details like big kids! After we finished, we wrote some Tts on our (paper) tablecloth.

Our letter turkeys needed some matches made between upper and lowercase letters! 

Using a magnet wand, we dug capital letters out of the turkey corn to lay on our turkey mats with the lowercase letters. 

We ended our Tt Party day with a round of our new favorite song and dance: Tooty Ta!

Other Thanksgiving fun included flannel boards and playing with our big Mayflower and people.

We used tools (magnifying glasses and rulers) to explore all kinds of nature items. 

As a sweet ending to the week, we made yummy pinecones out of pretzels, cereal and a little frosting glue- delicious!
