Thanksgiving may be over, but you’re probably still working on all the leftovers…\u00a0And I’m working on catching up after taking care of my\u00a0sick toddler\u00a0for most of last week! \u00a0I know many of you have been in the same boat. \u00a0I hope you were all healthy and well and enjoyed your\u00a0Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n

Here’s what we did on Tuesday:<\/p>\n

Everybody got a feather, and we sang a simple song about the colors:<\/p>\n

Turkey wore his red feather, red feather, red feather<\/p>\n

Turkey wore his red feather all day long<\/p>\n

Turkey wore his orange feather… (etc)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Our first\u00a0book was called I’m a Turkey<\/a> by Jim Arnosky.\u00a0 It’s a book about the lives of turkeys in the wild, with a fun bluegrass kind of rhythm to the words.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We sang a song we did the week before, adapted lightly for Thanksgiving:<\/p>\n

This is the way we wash our hands, wash our hands, wash our hands,<\/p>\n

This is the way we wash our hands before Thanksgiving dinner<\/p>\n

This is the way we scrub our face…<\/p>\n

This is the way we brush our hair…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We bounced our babies to Ladies Ride<\/a> and did a flannelboard activity about identifying which things don’t belong, using\u00a0the old Sesame Street song:<\/p>\n

Three of these things belong together<\/p>\n

Three of these things are kind of the same<\/p>\n

But one of these things just doesn’t belong here<\/p>\n

Now it’s time to play our game.\u00a0 It’s time to play our game!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then we segued into singing Old MacDonald with felt piece cues.<\/p>\n

We sang Gobble Pokey:<\/p>\n

Put your right wing in, put your right wing out<\/p>\n

Put your right wing in, and you shake it all about<\/p>\n

You do the Gobble Pokey and you turn yourself around<\/p>\n

That’s what it’s all about!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We read Five Silly Turkeys<\/a> by Salina Yoon and used the felt board to illustrate the counting:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We tickled our babies to Hurry, Scurry Little Mouse<\/a>, and then\u00a0sang the song “Baa Baa Black Sheep”:<\/p>\n

Baa baa black sheep, have you any wool?<\/p>\n

Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full<\/p>\n

One for the master and one for the dame<\/p>\n

One for the little boy who lives down the lane<\/p>\n

Baa baa black sheep, have you any wool?<\/p>\n

Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Then we listened to Raffi’s version which includes the many contributions of other animals for our food and clothing!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Baa baa black sheep, have you any wool?<\/p>\n

Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full<\/p>\n

One for your sweater and one for your rug<\/p>\n

One for your blanket to keep you warm and snug<\/p>\n

Cluck cluck red hen, have you any eggs?<\/p>\n

Yes sir, yes sir as many as your legs!<\/p>\n

One for your breakfast and one for your lunch<\/p>\n

Come back tomorrow, I’ll have another bunch<\/p>\n

Moo moo brown cow, have you milk for me?<\/p>\n

Yes sir, yes sir, as tasty as can be<\/p>\n

Churn it into butter and make it into cheese<\/p>\n

Freeze it into ice cream or drink it if you please<\/p>\n

Buzz buzz, busy bee, is your honey sweet?<\/p>\n

Yes sir, yes sir, sweet enough to eat<\/p>\n

Honey on your muffin and honey on your cake<\/p>\n

Honey by the spoonful as much as I can make<\/p>\n

Baa baa black sheep, have you any wool?<\/p>\n

Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We bounced our babies to\u00a0“Row Row Row Your Boat” and danced and wiggled to the song. \u00a0Then we sang “Goodbye, goodbye we’ll see you soon.”<\/p>\n

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
