Thank You!

chopping and cooking, sharing and singing, we had a wonderful two days this week!
Peace to you and Happy Thanksgiving,

Michele and Agi

sous chef!

many hands make light work

this child supervised the cooking from start to finish, even took vegetables out of the pot to chop them up more!

the final touches

this child said "read this for me!" and I asked if he could read it. "I can't read!" was the reply. So we decided it was a song about buttons.

first snow!

We were so thankful for the first snow! There wasn't much, but there was plenty!

Our harvest feast is coming soon, and we had a week of preparations and the classroom really felt like a community. We made shakers, and invitations for the feast. We created jar lights for our table and had quiet candlelight lunches. Everyone helped to bake pumpkin bread with chocolate chips and to deliver the invitations. The children tried painting with feathers and painting with their hands. We had block play and outdoor play, and a special snack of popcorn! A favorite moment was our "ceremony", which included sharing a song, kind thoughts, and a story that we told together. "Can Man" came to visit to encourage us to donate to the food drive with a special invitation!

What a great week !
