thanksgiving week

Sarah and I will be doing Thanksgiving Week this week with lots of Thanksgiving type activities. We will also be finishing up B week as we were sick last week and didn't get everything done. We will be starting C week as well. I decided mixing B & C weeks together would be okay because there are lots of Thanksgiving/harvest activities that can be done with both letters. We're going to be very busy doing the following:
  • hopefully going to the blowing up of the balloons (and possibly the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Balloon Parade) depending on weather and wellness
  • paper bag Indian vest
  • paper bag puppets-pilgrims, Indians, and maybe even Christmas ones starting the day after Thanksgiving
  • making a woven Thanksgiving placemat
  • mini Thanksgiving dinner at home
  • eating corn on the cob and candy corn
  • making Indian corn-with toilet paper rolls, colored popcorn, painted packing peanuts, or do a dot paints (probably also working on patterns here)
  • making a thankful tree
  • making lots of different turkeys-toilet paper roll, painted handprint tail; gluing cereal on the feathers of a drawn turkey; sponge painted turkey; mosaic turkey with small colored bits of paper; coffee filter tail turkey
  • making caramel apples (or buying) or dipping apples in caramel dip
  • countdown to Christmas (or visit to Utah) chain

I know this may be beyond your scope of practice (all of this is well above me) but are you trying to work in review activities? I just thought the Caramel Apples would be a good chance to review the letter A. Constant repetition makes us seem more intelligent than we really are at times.
