The ultimate croque monsieur sandwich
I am so excited that this weekend is a 3-day weekend for us here in Canada! It's Thanksgiving! I love this holiday so much because, yes, you guessed it, the FOOD! I always host Thanksgiving at my house and this year I bought extra bacon to wrap our turkey with - have you ever tried a turkey cooked for hours surrounded by bacon? It's D.E.L.I.C.I.O.U.S.!!! On to what we did in our classroom this week.... We went to the Pumpkin Patch and had so much fun playing in the hay stack, going on a wagon ride and learning about pumpkins! We got ready for Thanksgiving by making some fun crafts. Here is our turkey card for our family. This is the card my little JK's made. They glued those leaves on all by themselves! The JK's also painted and assembled this handprint turkey. We talked about the meaning of a cornucopia and "filled" ours with pictures from the grocery store flyers. The students in my class love playing with playdough so when I put out these turkey playdough mats they went crazy! They had to roll out a specific number of feathers for each turkey. These were created by my teaching partner, Mrs. Parisi. (Sorry the picture is sideways! I couldn't get it to turn!) You can get the turkey mats here. Do you sing this song with your class on Thanksgiving? It's so cute! This is one of those poems I have had from day one of teaching and I don't know where/who it came from! If you know, please let me know so that I can give that person credit! Click on the picture for your free download. (Clip art by DJ Inkers) I wanted to show some pictures of the rest of the learning going on in our kindergarten class this week. We learned about the pumpkin life cycle and created this craft to help us remember and retell it. (This idea was done last fall at my daughter's school by her teacher, Mrs. DiGirolamo. Being a teacher, I keep everything that is not only adorable but educational, to recreate!) The download for this activity came from A to Z Teacher Stuff. I realized after that I forgot to take a picture of a completed one (the picture above is a work in progress) but the students coloured, cut and glued the pictures onto the "vine" (green ribbon) and as they retold the life cycle they put the pieces into the pumpkin. On the back they created a Jack-o-Lantern. The JK's also made their own pumpkin life cycle activity (a little simpler and easier to retell). This activity is also from A to Z Teacher Stuff. Our Write the Room activity was changed to apples and here a student is copying all the words she reads. I hide them everywhere around the room! You can find this activity here or you can get my Write the Room activities for a whole year (with 25 themes) here. Here are our two focus poems for the month of October. We have had a great week and I know that everyone deserves a long weekend! Happy Thanksgiving to everyone celebrating this weekend!

A todos um Feliz Natal, que suas casas sejam tomadas pelo verdadeiro espírito de paz e harmonia, na companhia dos que mais amam. Diana Krall - White Christmas na companhia das crianças Tem coisa melhor do que ter crianças como inspiração para o Natal? Nada mais lógico, afinal não foi uma criança muito especial que deu início a esta festa? Este ano minha casa voltou a ter crianças no Natal, Bernardo e Caio, dois lindos presentes que ganhamos em 2012, e pelos quais somos profundamente agradecidos. Desejo a todas as crianças um Natal muito feliz, em especial aos meus amores Caio e Bernardo, que para minha alegria estarão comigo, ao Rafael, meu sobrinho querido, ao Vitor, meu sobrinho-neto, ao querido Joaquim e seus primos Antonio, Manuela e Rafaela, o Natal sem vocês não seria o mesmo para suas famílias, afirmo isto por experiência própria. Via Pottery Barn, Weranda, Pinterest e The Pretty Blog Este ano, especialmente para Caio e Bernardo, os dois meninos lindos e muito especiais que vieram para completar nossas vidas, montei este pinheiro, que passará a fazer parte dos Natais que virão. Fotografado por Tereza, do Casa Très Chic na companhia dos seus melhores amigos "Animais de estimação, assim como seus donos, tendem a expandir-se um pouco mais no período do Natal." Frances Wright Grandes homens tinham consciência da importância e do quanto os animais devem ser respeitados, como Imannuel Kant, quando disse que "podemos julgar o coração de um homem por seu tratamento com os animais." Eu concordo, apenas a forma como certas pessoas olham para os animais diz tudo, se merecem ou não a minha confiança. Não abro mão da companhia de Zoe, nossa linda e fiel Schnauzer, alegria da casa, sua presença em todos os momentos de nossas vidas é muito importante. O Natal sem ela também não seria o mesmo. Via Pinterest e Trad Home à mesa, na companhia da família Como definir a ceia de Natal? Uma longa refeição iluminada por cores e sabores, servida numa mesa decorada com capricho, a família e os amigos reunidos à sua volta, e o som de suas vozes e risadas por horas e horas. Nestas ocasião descobrimos o quanto temos a agradecer. Amei esta mesa ao ar livre, não é perfeita para o almoço de Natal de uma grande família? Casual, natural, despojada, e ainda assim um luxo!

This past Fall I had a bad cold and stayed in bed one day watching a Waltons Marathon. I watched this series when it first was on in the early or mid 70s and loved it and I loved it even more this time around. First of all, if you are even remotely in to etsy, pinterest or blogworld, and the handcrafted, DIY movement, you will notice upon tuning in to the show, that it could very easily fit into this artsy time we live in. They made the most delicious pies, cakes and well, everything from scratch. Hello!! Pies are very hip now along with all yummy hand baked from scratch anythings. Simple rustic yet homey decor. Very in . Drinking ice tea from mason jars!!! Using mason jars with wild flowers in them to decorate the really cool canvas tent they put behind the house for Grandpa to sleep in so he would be able to see Walton's mountain and recover from his serious illness?? It worked, Grandpa made it! Looked like a blogger wedding site! John and Livvy's 25th wedding anniversary where they drove to a town nearby to get professional photos taken, all the while the youngins were secretly planning a surprise party for them, saving paper bags for luminaries, and foil gum wrappers to make shiny table decorations and John making a gazebo to surprise Livvy on the mountain!! Jason being in a bluegrass band playing in barns with hay to sit on and lights strung for decoration?? Church picnics with colorful pennant garland and PIES and home made canned goods! Yep, and when the kids grew a little older, the girls in their simple cotton 40s dresses, the boys looking very hipster in their vests with oxford shirts and ties, caps and suspenders. Who knew they would be all the rage three decades later than when they were filmed? I didn't know, but now I do. Next time you are going through the channels and you see this show, tune in. You may just get inspiration to do something creative or artsy!
