Giving thanks

We have really enjoyed learning about giving thanks and what we are thankful are. Funshine express has some really neat ideas for this theme.

 One of the favorite songs we did was 

                    If your Thankful

                    

                    If you are thankful 

                 And you know it,

                  (Clap your hands)

                  If your thankful and you 

                  Know it

                  (Clap your hands)

                  If you are thankful 

                 And you know it,

                  And your face will surely 

                  Show it.

                   If you are thankful 

                 And you know it,

                  (Clap your hands)

                 Repeat with 

                 Stomp your feet

                      Turn around

                     Shout hooray

Every month funshine does a character counts activity.

 Tony the Thankful Tiger was the character today.  After introducing him to the kids we discussed what it means to be thankful . Theo was thankful for a lot of things . He was thankful his friends felt sad when he was not feeling well. I asked the question;How can we show people how we care for them? 

One of the kids said " we give a huge wet kiss and a great big hug."  How sweet.

                   Meet Theo

Today we read the book Manners at the table , this book can in the kit.

It was about what are good manners are. It was easy and simple for them to understand.

      

Our embossed foil activity was really neat. The kids thought that it was cool that the harder they pressed the more the design would come out.

These are the supplies that came with the kit. 

                Foil

                Golf tees

                Cardstock

Fantastic feather was the Math activity and the kids decided to count the feathers whole making a turkey with playdough.

It is so helpful that funshine provides a math game every month . I know I can grab it and begin. I usually laminate them so I can use them again.

Lena did a great job matching numbers.

Hope everybody's week is going well.
