Luke's Preschool Thanksgiving Lesson

I had the opportunity to teach Luke's preschool class the week before Thanksgiving. We were learning about the letter G so we did a "gratitude" theme. To start off the day we enjoyed getting our hands messy with some gloppy goop. This stuff is so cool. You mix elmers glue, water and borax and it makes this slimy stuff that really doesn't stick to your hands so you can stretch it, cut it, roll it, whatever. It will, however, stick to clothes and it's not pretty when it does.

For snack we had cornucopias (waffle cones) filled with treats that start with the letter G - goldfish, grapes, and granola. It's funny - kids don't really like ice cream cones without the ice cream - go figure.

This was my favorite part. For our crafts we made a wreath with different ways to say thank you written on each leaf (hand) and a turkey. They learned how to say thank you in 8 different languages. The turkey was made with a coffee filter. The boys colored on the filter with marker then they sprayed it with water and watched the colors all bleed together. It made the feathers look pretty cool.
