T is for Thanksgiving

Today in the afternoon we did a favorite activity of the children, which is called, "Find What's Missing."  I first showed the children a picture of a turkey.  They looked it over carefully.  Then I showed them another picture that had something missing.  The children then took turns identifying what was missing.  I have included a few pictures for you to give it a try.  the morning children will do this tomorrow, for they had cookies from Mr. Ramminger for another 10 orange slips instead.

Over the last few days the children made a turkey art project out of the coffee filter that they experimented with last week.  At my center the children drew a picture of what they are thankful for.  At another center the children made a story titled Where is Turkey?  This story worked on position words.  The word beside was very tricky for the children.  You may want to incorporate this word into the directions that you give your child.  For example you may say, "Put the fork beside the plate."
