Cooking for Thanksgiving

We have been cooking for Thanksgiving in 

Pathways and talking about the holiday.

On Monday we talked about traveling,
visiting relatives and where everyone goes
for the holiday. We made cars out of Twinkies.

On Tuesday we discussed corn and the
first Thanksgiving. What can be made
with corn? Where does it grow?

Everyone saw what happens when the kernels heat up.

On Wednesday we made muffins.  We talked
about spices - Where do they come from?

The kids got to help mix and stir.

Pie was the topic for Thursday.  We
used our thumbs to decorate the crusts.

Then the children put on the melted butter and cinnamon sugar.

On Friday we made a pinecone turkey.

We also made pumpkin cupcakes

and owl cupcakes.

There is a color we all know. 

Can you guess what it is?

B-R-O-W-N

We talked about things that are brown,

made suncatcher turkeys,

leaf turkeys, and Fall leaves.

I like brown, don't you?

Animals Abound

We have been busy in Pathways! 

The end of last week we concentrated on animals.

On Thursday we made bears in Room 4

We talked about where they live, what colors
they can be, what they eat, and how they sleep.

On Friday we worked with sand

We learned where it comes from and how it feels

We used leaves as "starfish" in our beach scene
and talked about what animals live in the ocean

Conference Days Extra Fun

On the Preschool Conference Days we had three full 

classes and two full days of Pathways "Room 4" fun!

On Monday we learned about and painted Squirrels

We used leaves for their tails and talked about
where the leaves come from...

Trees! We discussed the changing seasons

We also did leaf rubbings with chalk

For our snack we used cookie cutters with bread

The kids got to choose from several toppings

On Tuesday, we continued our tree discussion,
but "branched" out to Family Trees

The kids painted a tree and put leaves
on for each family member

 Lunch with friends

For snack we made pudding.  The kids got to stir and
see how the powder changes when the milk is added.

They got to smash cookies to add to their pudding
