Turkey Kindergarten Extension Pack

Our last day of co-op is this Friday, so I’m planning to have a few fun review packs for the boy to do over the next couple of months.  We’re going to call it Fun Friday!! To kick off Fun Fridays I’m planning to use the Turkey K Extension Pack next week.
 

Turkey K Extension Pack VIEW SLIDE SHOW DOWNLOAD ALL

Here’s what you’ll find inside: Turkey Math, Turkey Varieties Tracing Strips, Skip Counting Puzzles, Label the Parts of the Turkey, and Turkey Spin & Graph. 

My son has been loving these packs and I have to say I’m loving them too!  Since it is all review for him, he is able to work on a lot of the stuff independently, which means I can catch up on house work or prep for the holidays.  It is a win-win for both of us.

Turkey Color Books

This week we are learning about Turkeys!  Now, for the past couple of weeks we have been including some tot books with our units to work on some concepts that aren’t always covered in our printables.  One of those concepts is colors. 

Our theme this week lends itself to a learning activity about colors, so we made these two Turkey Feather Color Books to learn about colors and how to write their names! 

The color version of the book focuses more on writing skills and you trace the color of the turkey feathers. 

The black and white version lets your kiddo color the feathers and trace the colors name! 

We hope they will help you out as you plan your studies! 

Tots in Action-Turkeys!!!

All About Turkeys!

Ok, so this week in our schedule we should be taking a field trip.  Well, the only field trips we could think of for a Turkey unit were a Turkey farm or the freezer section of your local supermarket.   Since turkey farms are in short supply here, and the freezer section seemed a little morbid, we decided a power point would serve much better. :) 

Enjoy this PowerPoint with your kiddo, and forgive me for the turkey gobble…I might have gotten a little carried away.  I will say that E loved it though, and if your tot drives you crazy with all the gobbling, I apologize!

 

You can download the PowerPoint here:

All of our Needs

This week our memory verse comes from Matthew 6:26.

“Look at the birds of the air….your heavenly father feeds them.”

Materials:

• Some types of food in packages (crackers, cookies, can goods, etc.)

Directions:

• Have your child look at each of the food items in front of them
• Ask where they think that food came from. 
• Go over the devotional with your child.
• Say the verse above with your child.  We suggest that you print the verse off and use it every morning with your calendar time.  If you don’t do calendar time still say the verse each morning with your tot before you begin tot school.

Talk about the following with your tot:

We have a lot of food here, don’t we?  All of this food came from the grocery store, didn’t it?  Did you know that all of the food we have to eat is a gift from God?  Really, it is!  You see, God gave Mommy and Daddy the money to go buy this food so that you can have good things to eat.  Our verse today tells us to look at the birds that fly in the sky and know that God gives them food to eat.  Birds can’t go to grocery stores like people.  They rely on God to give them the good things their bodies need to grow.  God loves us even more than He loves birds, did you know that?  If He loves the birds enough to feed them, then we know that He loves us and won’t let us go without the things we need.  We need to thank God that He has given us food to eat everyday, and we need to thank God that He takes care of those that love Him.

Dear Father, thank you for giving us all the things that we need.  We know that everything comes for you, and that you love us and will give us what we need when we need it.  Thank you for blessing us with good food to eat, and for taking care of all the animals in your creation.  We love you.  Amen

Questions to ask your tot:

• You might want to review last weeks questions with your tot.
• Who makes sure all the birds eat? God
• Does God make sure we have the things we need too?  YES!

Family Theme Night- Turkeys

Gobble, gobble! It’s Turkey Week on 2 Teaching Mommies! That’s right, this week we are learning all about the bird that many US citizens associate with Thanksgiving.

Below you will find a list of suggestions and choices to create your own unique Family Theme Night.  Pick and choose as you please…remember this isn’t about all the stuff it is about spending time with your family. 

Meal: (Dinner, Desert or Both!)

• Make your favorite turkey dish or just substitute ground turkey in a beef dish.  For example, we had turkey tacos.
• Here are 2 great deserts that use candy corn (click on the image to take you to the directions): 

Activity/Game:

• Turkey Hunt- Hide a small turkey toy or a turkey print out and have your child try to find it.  As they get “warmer” gobble.   
• Turkey Dance- Find a recording of the Chicken Dance and pretend to be turkeys.  Go here and scroll down to see actions.

Craft:

• Turkey Hat- We created this last year and then acted out the story Run, Turkey, Run! 

• Hand Print Turkeys- This is such a simple well-known craft, but it is just too cute not to do.

  

• Toilet Paper Roll Turkey Craft from All Kids Network. 

Read a Book:

 

Have a great time enjoying your family and making new memories.
