THEMES: TURKEYS, FAMILIES and WE ARE THANKFUL
WEEKS: NOVEMBER 7 – 11, 14 – 18, and 21 & 22, 2022

“The turkey is a funny bird, his head goes wobble, wobble,
He only knows just one word, gobble, gobble, gobble!”
Our families and Thanksgiving will be the focus of our activities for these few weeks. The letter of the week activities are H is for heart and I is for ice cream.

NOVEMBER 14th – 18th
This is a SHARING WEEK. We are asking each child to bring in a family photo on their scheduled sharing day. You may send in a picture of just one or two individual relatives or a group picture; any family picture your child selects will be fine. We will display the pictures on a bulletin board for a few weeks, then the pictures will remain in school to be added to your child’s end-of-the –year portfolio.

I’M A LITTLE TURKEY (tune of I’m a Little Teapot)
I’m a little turkey fluffy and brown.
My wings flip-flop when I turn around.
I have a lot of feathers on my back,
And a big orange beak that goes click-clack.
