Hello Tuesday Thursday Families!
Don't you just LOVE those beautiful masks we made? I couldn't wait till the end of the month to share that photo with you! We've had two "short" weeks in a row, but we still managed to fill them with all kinds of fun, faith and learning! This month our focus is on Gratitude as we prepare for Thanksgiving.
Last week, we learned about the Letter E! We used blue and green paint to paint some beautiful pictures that reminded us of our earth. We give thanks to God for His beautiful creation! We also brought out some wooden eggs with numbers on them. All of the children had a chance to put them in order from 1 - 10 (and everyone had so much fun with them!)

We heard the story "What A Wonderful World" in a unique way. As we looked at the pictures, we listened to the story being sung by Louis Armstrong. The children loved the colorful pages in the book, and Mr. Armstrong's singing was, of course, beautiful!
Also for letter E week, we....
Colored a beautiful picture of our earth
Played with our Letter Builders
Used tiny animal counters with our 100 Chart
and played Musical Colors on our Rainbow Rug
(all that in just one day! Wow!)
For letter F week, our visit to the food pantry this week was a perfect opportunity to remember to give thanks for what we have AND to share our blessings with those who are less fortunate. Each child brought a canned item to the church's food pantry and learned how we can help other people who may not have food in their homes.
