We read lots of turkey stories this week so a turkey craft seemed to be just the thing to mark Thanksgiving Day. Enjoy the holiday with your little turkey :) !

We have been comparing amounts (dogs/balls; animals/dots...) and using the terms more, fewer and the same amount. Check out this link with your child to have some fun with the terms at home: http://www.ixl.com/math/kindergarten/fewer-and-more-comparing-groups Fewer is a bit tricky because we tend to say "a few more" but be careful - fewer actually means less!

Timmy Tiger is our Zoophonics animal that teaches us the letter and sound for Tt. We made "time for t" this week since it is almost "turkey time"! This video was terrific! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABaWlQgzh90 How many /t/ words can you think of? Tap your toes for each word. We even heard /t/ at the end of some words!

Allie Alligator has been helping kindergarten with the sound for the letter /a/. We learned how to make an upper case A and a lower case a.

We had a wonderful day at McAllister's Farm today! We picked apples and learned lots about apple trees! We also saw grapes and pears and one lonely raspberry. We watched horses and cows eat apples. The wagon ride at the end was a great tour of the orchard.
