Thanksgiving

The children have been jumping in the leaves and were getting excited about the next Holiday -Thanksgiving! To initiate appreciation, we began discussing with the children how they have such wonderful lunches packed for them every day for snack and lunch.

The children enjoy their lunch time together and love to find their favorite food packed in their lunch box. The children began naming each of their snacks and we reminded the children to say "Thank You" to their parents for packing such yummy foods. We practiced singing songs about being thankful for our food, families and friends.

In preparation for the preschool Thanksgiving feast, the children practiced their gluing skills to decorate their place settings with a spoon, fork and plate. We used the place settings to create a colorful Thanksgiving mural to decorate the room for the Feast.


The children who all must help bake at home, worked patiently with Morah to help make the cornbread for the feast. Every child took a turn to add an ingredient and stir the mix. The children are learning their shapes so we decided to cut the cornbread into squares for the feast.

On the morning of our Thanksgiving Feast, the children enjoyed playing in a big new ship. We called the ship "the Mayflower"!

The children sang our "Thank You" song along with the rest of the preschool in one large "circle time". It was such a thrill for the children to see Mommies and Daddies in the big playroom. We all sat down and after giving thanks, enjoyed our corn bread along with all the delicious foods made by the children from the different classes. What a feast, and how wonderful to enjoy it with both families and morahs together at the table.
