November Nutrition and Thanksgiving

 Our month finishes up with talking about nutrition and Thanksgiving. Do you ever start planning your lessons and then go see what you have??!?!?!?!

I want to be that teacher that is super organized that can just pull out the labeled box or boxes and be ready to go?  That is my goal this year!  So far so good. :)

I am still buying new materials, but I also need to use what I've used in the past.

Food related ;) 

You try to pick out the spaghetti without dropping the Yeti in the bowl.

Donut erasers and counting cards

and patterns

Cookie letters and letter matching sheets.

This blue fabric stove goes over a chair.

Pop the Pig game

you pick a hamburger and read that number

and mush (is that a real word?)

down his head until his belt flings open.

Magnetic Center #1

This is a My plate.

In the green container (from Dollar Tree)

The children match where the foods go. 

Letter stringing M&M's

This felt picnic basket: I hand out foods and 

make up a story to go along with the foods.

When I get to that piece of food, the kids put 

them where they go.

Sometimes I have had some children

tell the story instead of me! 

Popcorn letters

Pick a piece of popcorn 

and say the letter.

Magnetic Center#1

My fridge phonics

Mr Potato Heads of course!

I think these are Melissa and Doug

sandwich pieces.

I also have cards on a ring,

for the children to try to build that 

sandwich.

Here is one of many balance toys from Target.

This one is missing the grapes (if you were a 4 year old, 

where would you hide them???)

Here are some lacing cards also from Target.

Lacing foods :)

More felt sets from Target.

Here is the sorting pie.

You can sort by food type or color. 

There's a guide on the bottom.

3 balance toys from Target

Here are all the centers we had-

we also have the library and blocks open too!

All hands on as well!

On day 1 that I introduced these it was during circle time.

The children got to blindly pick a magnet and place it

in the correct part of our plate.

When I brought this out again, 

it was for journal time.

We drew our favorites from each food groups.

In our science center

all about our bodies

WeekS in review lol Thanksgiving and Nutrition

Here are Nutrition and Thanksgiving weeks.

Mini PB&J sandwiches

Oil Drip pan

 Cookie Letters

Cutting food

Learning Board

I attached the letter and number cards with paperclips in a cellophane bag.

Color and shape cards have vel-cro dots.

I colored the dot to show feelings because it was either white or clear lol

   

Pointing with a banana, doesn't everyone???

 Brought out foods that went with the books.

Lacing items.

I printed these and then punched a hole.

I attached a clothespin to the side of his refrigerator,

How I assembled the books.

Fold in half.

Open sides together. 

I underline the color words.

Here are my new daily bins.

I write out the activities on the calendar and slip into a sleeve.

I can cross off when we do them.

Everything I need, goes into that bin. 

 We picked favorite foods from each food group.

Here's our kitchen set up this week.
