Last week of this session

Hello to all my WONDERFUL Funtime parents! Thank you so much for all your help with the Thanksgiving Feast - we definitely can't do these things without you. I am very blessed to have you all in my life!

This week we focused on getting the kiddos prepared for the feast or feasty (that's what I like to call it). :-)
On Monday we decorated paper Turkeys and wrote what each child was thankful for. We will use these at the feasty to decorate the walls - wait until you read what the kids are thankful for - some of them are quite hilarious! The 2 morning classes practiced their fun Thanksgiving songs and the afternoon class practiced their cute little Thanksgiving play with Amy and Britni.

Wednesday we made turkey puppets to go with one of our songs. The kids colored a cute little turkey and then Ms. Amy stapled them to colored tongue depressors. It's been a little tough for some of the kiddos to understand that they won't be able to take their crafts home until after the feast. But after explaining it a couple of different ways and sometimes to the Mom's, the kids understood and I am excited to use their crafts to decorate the NACC. All three classes practiced their songs and the afternoon class practiced their play after a little re-arranging of the characters.

On Friday we practiced songs and the play and then let the kids run off some steam in the gym. Because the kids have been working so hard this week, we decided not to do an activity that required direction (obstacle course, game, etc). Instead, we got out the balls and just let the kids run, roll, kick and tumble. We had a lot of fun. We sure did giggle and laugh a lot!

For those of you traveling this Holiday, be safe!

I'll see you tomorrow at the Northside Atzlan Community Center - 10:30 sharp!

I will not have the YAC cell phone with me, so if you need to get in touch with me call the Northside @ 221-6655 and ask the front desk to get a message to me.

Please bring a serving utensil with your dish (if it requires one).

I'm really looking forward to sharing a yummy feast with you all.
