Thanksgiving Activities

As Thanksgiving gets closer, our activities are reflecting the upcoming holiday. The afternoon class made peanut butter. We shelled the peanuts, blended them with oil in the blender, and ate our delicious peanut butter on crackers. Thank you to Dorothy for her recipe, equipment, and tips!




All classes are counting out "whipped cream" onto little pumpkin pies. We are working on number identification and counting during this activity.


The morning classes used brown markers and orange watercolor paint to paint a piece of pumpkin pie. Tomorrow we will glue on the cotton whipped cream.





Another activity the children are enjoying is giving this wooden turkey feathers!


Happy Thanksgiving!

Fall Walk

We enjoyed the beautiful fall weather today with a walk in the neighborhood. As we walked we noticed the colorful leaves that are falling from the trees.






We worked together to put the leaves in a big pile.......and then took turns jumping in!

House Fire Painting

We are learning about fire safety in the three year old preschool class this week.

During art we made some paintings of a house on fire.
We started out with thin red, yellow, and orange paint. We blew the paint around our paper with straws. It was hard work!



Then we added smoke with paint rings and gray paint.
