Our classroom is smelling delicious these days! Thanks to a donation of some spices (plus a few leftover from the Spicy Turkeys), we have a sensory table full of Thanksgiving smells. It's a slightly strange mixture of powdered milk, salt, nutmeg, pumpkin pie spice, cloves, and various other spices we use to make a Thanksgiving dinner. The children in morning and afternoon sessions are having a great time pretending to mix up a Thanksgiving feast. 
The preschool students made slices of pumpkin pie this week during art. We started with a small triangle cut from a paper plate. The first step was to color the crust on our pie. We had to have steady hands to give our pie a nice crust.
Next we painted our slices of pie with orange liquid watercolor paint.
The next step was to sprinkle the wet paint with pumpkin pie spice. We put them on the counter to dry. Next week we will glue some "whipped cream" on before we send them home.
