Bring On The Turkey!

Hey Kinder Friends,

It's been so busy and it's been a lot of fun but I feel like I am on a turkey run! I am sure you can relate. It's hard to believe that Thanksgiving is getting closer and quick! Just that little thought had me thinking about my Thanksgiving files and in earlier in October when I trotted on over to my handy little turkey files I realized it was...a hot mess!

I have always loved Thanksgiving in Kindergarten. I guess it started my first year when I made stone soup for the first time. And boy oh boy did that memory last a while considering the giant sized Crock Pot tipped over in my just out of college...Mustang. Which is why now I have a handy Crock Pot locker at school but that is another story in itself and for another day.

When I started to think about doing everything and getting everything I wanted to get done and also keeping to the curriculum, I decided to update my files and make things a little easier to accomplish it all. Because you know giving up anything was just not an option because after all this is my favorite time of year!

So with all of the fuss and all of the flutter we are gearing up for a jam packed November!

Because I wanted to do it and do it all...I just had to make this...A Thanksgiving To Remember...

So bring on the turkey headbands and Thanksgiving placemats too and look what all is included here for you!
