Happy (Canadian) Thanksgiving! Technically, Canada is not part of Kindergarten curriculum, but we enjoyed having a mini-lesson about it. We made a long list of things for which we are thankful (God, Jesus, the Bible, prayer, my mom, my cat, my sister, my house, plants, my brother, the pledge...) The class was sad that we didn't get to eat turkey, but we enjoyed some candy corn.
The class was so excited to hear that our classmate was safely back from India, but sad that she was not at school today. We pulled out a globe and had a quick lesson about jetlag that went something like this: "When the sun is shining over here on us, it's dark on the other side of the world in India, and then when the world turns and it is night by us, it is light and daytime in India, so morning time feels like bedtime if you just came back."
Everybody say "Explorer". Student council dubbed today "Explorer Day" so we made hats to look like explorers and enjoyed learning about Christopher Columbus. Ask your child to tell you something about him.
Here were some centers this morning: reading color words
