Thanksgiving

Today we had several guests for Thanksgiving Dinner! We enjoyed your visit. After lunch we came back to the room for some fun and games. We even made Turkey Cookies. The recipe is as follows:

Turkey Cookie

1 Oreo cookie
1 red and 2 orange mini M&M's
1 malted milk ball (or Hershey kiss)
Chocolate frosting
Candy corn pieces (approximately 5-6)
Cover one side of the Oreo with chocolate frosting. Attach the malted milk ball (turkey body) near near the center of the cookie. Arrange candy corn pieces on chocolate frosting with the wide end of candy along the outer edge. Put a large dab of frosting above the malt ball (turkey head). Push the side of the red M&M into this as the wattle. Push orange M&M's (feet) into frosting below body.

Stone Soup

To finish up our study of foods, we read the book Stone Soup. The story is about three soldiers who trick some villagers into cooking them a pot of soup.

Pancakes! Pancakes

Today we read a wonderful book called Pancakes, Pancakes! The story is about a boy that wakes up one morning and really wants a pancake. The boy's mother sends him to get the ingredients to make the pancakes including: flour, milk, eggs, and butter. Our class listed the ingredients for pancakes and gave Ms. Bev the recipe. We loved making pancakes and eating them too!

The Little Red Hen

We read The Little Red Hen. "Will you help?" said the little red hen. "Yes we will!" said the children. We helped Ms. Bev to make bread. We help Ms. Bev to eat the bread.

Halloween

We had a terrific Halloween Day! We went trick or treating in the morning and had a great party in the afternoon. Thanks to everyone who sent treats! We had so many treats that we will be partying the rest of the week on the leftover snacks.
