Hello from Cottonwood Creek!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving full of family and friends! Here at Cottonwood Creek we had a disappearing month of November! This month was full of fun activities to decorate the room! We started with decorating our front windows with cute, little colorful turkeys! I made a banner out of leaves which I printed out and cut to write "Happy Thanksgiving day" on. (I know the picture is not that clear sorry!) Next week we got to work on our longest project making a scarecrow and forming a little pumpkin/corn patch. I started off with a simple idea of just giving a little background for all the scarecrows to have and it snowball into a full on little display for my wall; its awesome! Each child put their name next to their scarecrow as well as on the leaves which they then colored for the tree I made! I simply love the way it turned out! And I think its a nice idea for a Christmas display as well. The kids also had time to color and write a story for my story land wall.
Lastly, we put together a feast of our own here at the computer lab! I figured since the kids have been on their best behavior for the last few months, that was plenty to be thankful for! So I got a couple of pizzas and a pumpkin pie and the rest of the snacks the parents sent over to share with all of the little ones! It was a nice time and a good time to show that thankfulness is the best! We went around the table before we ate and shared something each one of us was thankful for! It is truly an awesome holiday! Here is hoping that all had as good a time as we did here at Cottonwood Creek!
