November Activities

Hi Friends,

I've been spending most of my weekend writing report cards. 

I thought I'd take a break from all that and stop by to let you know what we will be doing this month.

Gobble, Gobble, Throwback!

Hello Sweet Friends,

Well, here in Canada, we celebrate Thanksgiving in October. Our Turkeys are now tucked away in our writing portfolios and we are in full Fairy Tale mode in our classroom, but I thought I'd share some of our Thanksgiving fun with all of you today.

A Thanksgiving word wall is a must, of course!

I used it to help my students write some great TURKEY stories! 

We had lots of fun making our Belly Stuffed with Stories Crafts and wrote some great things about Thanksgiving.

I love, love, love that they are thankful for their school. I tell ya, these kiddies love to learn and everything is well appreciated and received by them. Such a great bunch! They also think very highly of our staff, as they are thankful for the cleanliness of our building AND the excellent educators! 

They crack me up everyday!

Our display was a big hit! Their stories are tucked inside the turkey bellies! So much fun!

The kiddies loooooooved the giant turkey. They kept saying that she was the mommy and their turkeys were the babies. It was precious. A little firstie from across the hall had me in stitches when he asked me HOW MUCH GLUE it took to make the giant turkey! It was pretty stinken cute! 

   

This was such a fun activity. I also completed my Turkeys in Disguise Craftivity with my other group. The kiddies came up with ways to disguise the turkeys so that they wouldn't be eaten for Thanksgiving dinner! They are such a creative bunch!

1. Canadian Thanksgiving

That's right folks! Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving in October. 

I want to tell you a little story. 

One day, I had a terrible day. 

The morning after that terrible day, my colleague (who was unaware of my terrible day AND who teaches my former students) came up to me and showed me something special.

She had made a Thankful Jar with her students that day and one of my student's from last year had written about me. The word INSPIRED was mentioned. It nearly made me cry. All the stress and frustration from the previous day melted away and all I could think about was how I needed to thank this sweet child.

I went up to him and told him I had had a TERRIBLE day and that his teacher had shown me something that had made me so happy. Although, he pretended not to know what she had shown me, his smile gave him away. He made my day and by acknowledging that, I in turn made his. 

It really is all about the little things...

2. Speaking of Thanksgiving...

I know most of you celebrate this lovely holiday in November, so here are a few fun packs you might want to take a look at!

3. Fall

I cannot say it enough! I love Fall! I love the colors, I love the crispness, I love the weather, the holidays, the fashion...

 4. Halloween

I cannot wait for Halloween! This year I'm dressing up as a minion and I'm pretty sure it'll be a hit with the kiddies. They are obsessed with minions! Today, my kiddies are going to get to decorate their very own pumpkins because a generous family donated a pumpkin for each of my students!

So much fun!
