The Pretty Life: ivey league preschool: thanksgiving week

Last week we took a break from our regular stuff to focus more on Thanksgiving. First, we made a "thankful garland" out of cardstock leaves and thick twine:

We also did a few turkey-themed worksheets. Caleb was very good at coloring-by-number, as well as with graphing the shapes. For the alphabet one, he would tell me what he was thankful for and I'd write it down. Seems strange, but the kid really IS thankful for llamas (Emperor's New Groove, anyone?) and vacuum cleaners, though I think we both ran out of steam by letter X. :)

We did a file-folder game where you match up letter sounds with corresponding items using turkey feathers.

We also made a turkey puppet. Caleb insisted we give the turkey wings and a smiley face too.

We put together pattern block puzzles of a turkey and the Mayflower:

And finally, we made a turkey emergent reader where Caleb colored different amounts of turkey feathers on each page. He can recognize several color names by sight so he did very well with this! I colored the cover for him but he signed his name.
