Preschool Thanksgiving Celebration

A week before Thanksgiving, the boys had their Thanksgiving celebrations at school.  Since I'm Carter's room mom, I got to be at the party (and plan it).  Lauren is the other room mom and they went to Disney World so it was just me this time.  I decided to collect money from the other parents and got a Chick-fil-A nugget platter, along with fruit, cheese, pretzels, and juice boxes for the kids.  We moved the tables to make one long table for lunch.

After eating, the kids got to have the turkey cookies they had made earlier in the (I was planning on making similar ones to bring but luckily Ms. Denise and I talked beforehand and figured out we were doing the same thing!).

Afterwards we played a game of Autumn Bingo that I had brought along.  I lot of the kids didn't know how to play, but it was still lots of fun!  And Carter LOVES that I get to come into his class.  And I love that he wants me there!  I know it won't last forever!

Ms. Denise gave each of the kids these cute Reese's Pieces turkeys she made for them.  And bonus for Brian and I - Carter didn't like the candy :)

The kids also made these cute Thanksgiving placemats.  It's always interesting to see what the kids are thankful for.  Carter must have made this the day he brought in his stuffed dog for show-and-tell.  Thanksgiving week the kids had to bring in something they were thankful for.  Carter had his well checkup a couple of days earlier and had brought along a stuffed dog to help him be brave getting shots.  So he brought that dog for show-and-tell.  I think the last two things on his list are both that dog.

For Rylan's Thanksgiving party, we all signed up to bring different things for lunch.  During his party, the kids also made Thanksgiving Mix with some of the things we brought in.

Rylan's class also made placemats.  They did cute turkey handprints.
