Turkey Time!

We haven't done a lot this week, but we read the historical Thanksgiving account:
From here:

It sparked some good conversation, and a look at the map to see how far the Pilgrims sailed and where we live in relation to where they landed.

Here are some other Thanksgiving themed books we read:

And our Turkey T's! Made from a paper grocery sack, construction paper scraps, and tissue paper for the feathers.

We also have some turkey puppets from years past, to sing some songs with, like:

"There's a turkey on your nose, on your nose.

There's a turkey on your nose, on your nose.

Oh will that turkey stay, or will he wander away?

There's a turkey on your nose, on your nose."

(Substitute other body parts.)

We're also working on our annual thankful chain--strips of paper we use to write down things we're thankful for; then we'll make these strips into our countdown chain for Christmas!

I'd like to get to these cute bubble-wrap ears of corn from no time for flashcards; and these leaf turkeys from dltk.

We'll see. I also need to pack for heading north for some family celebrating with my side.

Have a great Thanksgiving, giving thanks to God for all he has done for you!
