Thanksgiving Week

Tomorrow we will eat our Thanksgiving lunch together and the children will wear the Indian necklaces that they made and either their Indian headdress or their turkey headdress that they created....it should be a lot of fun!  We'll send them home tomorrow so you can enjoy them too!  This is a finger play that we liked learning a lot last week and I wanted to share it with you:

Our Turkey is a Big Fat Bird

Our turkey is a big fat bird. (hands to your side and rounded to show size of turkey)

He gobbles when he walks. (move thumb to fingers as if talking, saying, gobble, gobble, gobble)

Our turkey is a big fat bird. (hands to your side and rounded to show size of turkey)He waddles when he walks. (move hands at your side back and forth as if waddling)

 

Our turkey is a big fat bird.  (hands to your side and rounded to show size of turkey)He spreads his tail this way. (spread fingers on hand like a fan)

On Thanksgiving Day our fat bird lifts his wings and flies away. (flap arms to fly)

We'll have school tomorrow, Tuesday, November 23 and then we'll be off for Thanksgiving and we wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday with your family and friends.
