Elmo's Explorers: The Week At A Glance

With Thanksgiving fast approaching, the children in Elmo's Explorers have been participating in festive holiday activities. Each child decorated a feather to put on the classroom turkey that Ms. Melissa designed. They shared with Ms. Melissa and Ms. Theresa things that they were thankful for. Many of the children shared that they were most thankful for their families!

Ms. Theresa's small group made turkeys out of the children's handprints. This project is a fun one for families to keep because it reminds parents how quickly children grow and change from year to year. Ms. Melissa's group made "pumpkin pies" using shaving cream, orange paint, glue, and pumpkin spice.

Both small groups were able to taste a variety of pie fillings; blueberry, cherry, apples, and pumpkin pie... yum, yum! They were then encouraged to communicate with their group about their favorite flavor as we graphed the results. Blueberry was definitely the classroom favorite; which should help our families decide what kind of pie to have on Thanksgiving!

Ms. Theresa and Ms. Melissa woul dliek to thank all of the parents and children for being so patient and flexible this week while our room has been under construction. The children did an awesome job transitioning into another classroom, while those children were on Thanksgiving break. We are sure that you will be pleased with the results when you see our room again after break!
