Thanksgiving on Thursday

This week, the children worked on some Thanksgiving coloring pages and a maze when they arrived.

I summarized the twenty seventh book, Thanksgiving on Thursday, and asked the children a variety of questions about the book.

When we arrived at the part in the book where the tree house spun, each child received a Dizzy Pill (which is actually a Tootsie Roll) to help make them less dizzy. After eating their Dizzy Pills, the children were instructed to spin around three times, as if they were in the spinning tree house.

When we got to the part in the book where Jack wrote in his notebook, I showed the notebook I made that has all of Jack's notes in it.

Our first craft was making corn...using popcorn! The children colored a picture of corn and then glued popcorn on.

When Jack burned the Thanksgiving turkey, I passed out a picture of a turkey to each child. They colored, cut out, and glued the turkey together.

For the last craft, I passed out a picture of a girl and boy pilgrim. The children colored and cut these out. I helped them tape the pilgrims to make finger puppets.
