LANGUAGE ARTS
No pictures but for this week we chose to review our spelling words. Due to it being a shorter school week due to the Thanksgiving holidays I wanted a more lay back week for her.
MATH
This week we chose to work on another workbook than our Singapore Math 1B. Wanted to review what we've learned so far and make sure she understood what she has completed so far.
To go with the theme of this week the kids played with their Turkey Math Lapbook. They would place the number on the turkey body and then place the number of feathers the card said on the turkey.

Measuring a pumpkin
Kids didn't want to destroy their pumpkins so instead we bought a small bag of pumpkin seeds and studied them. We dyed the pumpkin seeds different colors and the kids had fun making different pictures with them. I'm sure I took pictures but for some reason couldn't find them.
NATURE WALK
When I finished racking the leaves I made a pile at the end of their slide and the kids would jump right in.

ACTIVITIES
Story time at the library
Mrs. Deborah Jordan is the best story teller ever.
Sensory play, Motor skill development for little man, placed several pom poms on a tray and had him transfer them into a water bottle I made into a turkey. He really loved this activity and played for almost an hour.

Time with my dad and their dad during Thanksgiving dinner
Blessed to have their great grandparents here for Thanksgiving this year, they are from Puerto Rico.
Their uncle came with his wife from Florida to celebrate Thanksgiving with us, and the right picture is with their grandmother.
I'm one blessed mom to have these two in my life.
This week has been a week to give thanks, even though we should always give God thanks for the many blessings we have and have yet to receive. We talked about the first Thanksgiving, meaning of giving thanks, what the bible says about Thanksgiving. Enjoyed many different arts and crafts activities and had a blast with family. Until next week.
GOD BLESS!!
