Kindergarten: Thanksgiving Week

We had a fun week in homeschool kindergarten discussing Thanksgiving. We talked about pilgrims, Native Americans, food at the feast, turkeys and more. As usual my sweet girl loved all of the crafts we did. We had fun cutting out "feathers" of different colors and adding them to her Indian headband.

LOVE THAT I CAN SEE HER DIMPLE!

 When I student-taught in kindergarten, I got these pilgrim patterns. She cut, colored and glued them with a little help from Mom. Such a cute boy and girl!

 She also made a paper plate turkey, with different colored feathers. It was pretty cute! Too bad mom only had a paper plate with a design. Oh well, it's still cute!

We talked a lot about what we are thankful for too. One of our favorite Thanksgiving books is Turkey for Thanksgiving, which makes us giggle each time we read it. We also love Cranberry Thanksgiving, which I read as a child too.


We read these verses during the week too...
Psalm 100
A psalm, for giving grateful praise.

1 Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
2 Worship the Lord with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
3 Know that the Lord is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
5 For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.
