Therese's e-mail of the week, entitled, "He put in his thumb":
And he took out a plum.The children voted to make our family tree into a plum tree. They named some fruit trees to vote on; apple, banana, orange, plum and pear. So we set to work making plums. We mixed two colors carefully til we thought it resembled a plum color and then painted. We added stems and our family photos. The fruit will be hung on the tree with care on the day of our feast next week.During yoga we heard laughter, running footsteps, frozen feet, quietness, and then silence.Speaking of quiet time, ours has been restful.We read The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle and noticed the purple plums. We also read Red, Yellow, Green And Blue and looked around to see who was wearing purple. We read Little Boy Horner and Each Peach Pear Plum. We read every book we could find about plums and the color purple. We talked about purple people eaters and listened to the song. We tried to listen to Purple Rain but Prince wouldn't cooperate.Friday we made new play dough. Guess what two colors we put in?Our family plums look delicious. Our Thanksgiving feast will begin Wednesday at 11:15am. We will make sweet potatoes, corn muffins and butter.Day Born story reminder.We will also begin family shares after Thanksgiving. Any family member can come in and read a book, sing a song, show a photo, share a recipe, or pretty much anything else your family would like to share. We will have them during circle at about 9:45am. Talk to us to schedule a day.Happy weekend,Therese
