The month of November was filled with sharing gratitude, love and food. It was wonderful to see the tree on the toddler playground fill up with ribbons of gratitude and thanks! The Pigeon Plums also enjoyed getting together and sharing snack with the Mangroves and Spanish Limes during our Harvest Share before Thanksgiving break.
Ms. Sarka and I were busy over the Thanksgiving break working on the Pigeon Plum classroom. The classroom now has a new layout and if you have not seen it yet I invite you to stop in and take a look. The Pigeon Plums are learning a new song this month about peeling an orange, corn, potato and a banana. There are also new lessons for the Pigeon Plums to work with. Some of the new lessons include items that the toddlers may see at home during this upcoming holiday season. One of the new lessons contains a spice grater and a whole cinnamon stick which they can grate and then smell the wonderful holiday scent of cinnamon. Another new lesson is a basket that contains all the materials one would need to wrap a gift; a box, a piece of wrapping paper, tape, and a ribbon.
