Candy Turkeys

Well, I wasn't able to teach today, but I heard it was a lot of fun! Thank you, thank you, thank you to Aubrey for letting us come to her house!

One thing I wanted to do today for the letter T, but realized there just wasn't enough time is to make candy turkeys with the kids. These are really fun and a great thing to keep the kiddos busy while Thanksgiving dinner is cooking!

For each turkey you need:

1 large gumdrop, or candy orange slice (slice them with a knife to make it easier to stick candy corns in)

3 small gumdrops

3-4 candy corns

1-2 toothpicks broken up into smaller pieces

Here is a picture from a previous year. I know this picture is terrible, but it was the best I had. I think you get the idea. Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!

Me and Auri like this-we thought you might too!

The letter "A"

I think that our first day of preschool was a success! I feel bad I forgot to take pictures of it all, but it was really fun! I know Auri had a great time so I hope that your kids did too. Here are some things that we did.

*Learned the letter A and what sound it makes (we only did the short "a" sound, like "a"pple)

*Picked apples off the apple tree and then put them back according to color.

*Talked about words that start with "A'', and introduced "Auri" and "Addison"

*Colored our letter A in our alphabet books.

*Ate a snack- apples and apricots....and raisins and nilla wafers.

*Played toss the beanbag in the alligator.

***I forgot to play the ants go marching but I think that it would be a good thing to play at home with your own child and talk about ants and A.

Sorry about the caramel apples, I hope no one choked or lost a filling. Eat with caution. My bad. Next week will be at Michelle's house learning the letter T for Thanksgiving! It should be super fun! Yay for preschool! Thanks for coming!
