Good morning! I hope everyone has had a great week so far, whether you were off this week or still have to work another day.
My kiddos did a lot of fun crafts last week getting ready for Thanksgiving! We had so much fun! We talked about all the things we are thankful for (I am thankful for my family, my job, and all my super smart kiddos in class...just to name a few) and then turned or discussion into our very first free write! We made foam turkeys (from Michael's)...
We did a super fun directed art lesson. This lesson was SO time consuming. I budgeted for a half hour but it took us closer to 45 minutes. The kids loved it though, and I can use it as a measurable assessment for following directions and fine motor skills (double score!) which is always a plus. Their turkeys came out super cute and I'm super excited for more lessons like this.
The last turkey activity we did was our tie-dye turkeys! The kids got a coffee filter and markers. They got to color their filter how ever they wanted. When they had it just prefect they brought it to me and I misted it with water to make the colors bleed together. After they dried the kids got their turkey body and glued it to the middle of their filter.
Some turkeys have a lot more color than others but I still think they came out beautifully! Don't you?
Well I hope you have a great rest of the week and I want you to know I'm thankful for each one of you and all that you do in the world!
Have a happy Thanksgiving and remember, every moment can be a learning moment.
Sincerely from TK,
Nichole
