Each year, we decorate a Christmas Tree at the Newell Public Library for their annual Christmas Tree display. This year's theme was Christmas in Other Lands. We chose the country Brazil to decorate our tree. Thank you to Thomas' mom, Juliana, for helping with the decorations. At the library, we heard a story, decorated our tree, looked at the other trees, and took a tour of the library including seeing the book drop. Stop by and see our tree if you get a chance.
We have been doing a short unit on Turkeys in November. We have been looking at pictures of different turkeys on the computer. The preschoolers favorites are Wendy and Wally who have pictures of them growing from poults to a tom and hen. The farmer tells funny stories about these turkeys which the children love to hear. We looked at different pictures of turkeys and then the children made their own out of paper. Katie, the B.V. County Naturalist, came and taught us some more things about turkeys. She brought feathers and an egg for us to see. We had some very interesting "sharing bags" too. Tucker brought his grandpa's stuffed turkey and Zach brought a turkey call.
The preschoolers had fun dressing up in their costumes for Halloween. As you can see, they were very cute. We went on a costume parade, played games and ate snacks at our parties. A big thanks goes to the parents who provided for the Halloween parties. The kids had a great time.
