Week at a Glance November 21 – November 22, 2016

Religion Objectives:  

The children will know that everything we have is a gift from God and say “thank you” for gifts/services.  We will also express our thanks to God. 

Seeds – The Feast of Christ the King. The children will explore their own real life experiences as followers and as leaders.  We will celebrate in prayer being followers of Jesus. 

Science Objectives:    

Edible science! We will be churning our own homemade butter to go with homemade pumpkin spice bread for our Thanksgiving Feast.  We will learn how the fat molecules will separate from the liquid in the heavy cream as it is shaken and clump together forming a solid that becomes the yummy butter! We will use our measuring and gross motor skills to measure ingredients and mix them together for the pumpkin spice bread.  Two liquids become two solids. 

Literacy Objectives:

Thanksgiving journaling. Color by number.  Concepts of print with Thanksgiving stories. Sorting Autumn pictures. Turkey poem. 

Social Studies: 

My Big World – Thankful for you.  We will discuss all the things we are thankful for: toys, siblings, pets, sunny fall days and food 

Math Objectives: 

Measuring and directional skills. Recreating and extending patterns.  Introduction of solid shapes. 

Afternoon Enrichment: 

IXL math.  I Spy Thanksgiving.  Painting with triangles.

Our 4th grade Prayer Buddies surprised us today during our religion lesson. They helped us make our kites to celebrate the gift of air and dropped off Thanksgiving cards for us!!!  So wonderful!
We made our turkey headbands for our party. We made patterns on the band using our shape of the month, the triangle!
