Samuel Morey Preschool: November 14

What an unusual couple of weeks we have had! Due to Veteran’s Day and snow days, we only went to school for 2 days last week, but we still learned a lot! We started talking about Thanksgiving on Wednesday and learned the meaning of words like “feast” and “thankful”. We began creating a chart about what each student is thankful for to make that idea of “thankful” more personal for the students. Since there was new snow on the ground, we spent a lot of time playing outside and exploring snow both last week and this week. On Wednesday night, we had a wonderful Harvest Dinner with delicious food and time to socialize with other preschool families! After the long weekend, we came back for 2.5 days and learned more about thanksgiving. We finished our chart and used it to create a class book called “We Are Thankful.” We talked about what it means to be authors and illustrators as each student wrote words and drew illustrations on their page. Next week, we will finish up our book and begin an “author study” of Jan Brett. I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
