Theme: Alphabet Soup
Since the weather is finally starting to get cold, we are learning about Alphabet Soup! This week we have a lot of fun alphabet soup activities planned. We will be playing alphabet game, including scooping letters from a pot and recording them. Here is a list of 50 games you can play with your child to recognize alphabet letters.

We will also be sampling three different soups: Tomato, Alphabet Soup, and Chicken Noodle. After sampling the soups, the children will choose their favorites and we will graph it as a class and discuss which was the favorite and least favorite soups.
This week we will also have a grocery store in our dramatic play area and an Alphabet soup (water, bowls, ladles and alphabet letters).

Turkey Feathers
At the beginning of November we sent home some "homework" to decorate a turkey feather as a family. As you complete them and send them back to school, we will be adding them to our turkey body to make him have a colorful set of feathers. Please return your feather as soon as you finish it. Thanks for your participation.
Star of the Week
This year, each child will have their special week in which they are child of the week. When they are child of the week they can bring in items to share every day of the week. On Friday they are able to have a parent or special person come into the class, have snack with us and read a book or do a special activity with the class. When your child is Star of the Week, they will get a poster to decorate a week before they need to bring it in to have it displayed. If you have any questions regarding Star of the Week, don't hesitate to contact me.
