Thanksgiving Unit

It was fun to do schoolwork with Sawyer while also talking about what we are thankful for the things that Jesus blesses us with.

Sawyer really enjoyed showing Mie Mie and Papa how to trace lines!


We painted a toilet paper roll and attached strips of color swatches to the backside to make it look like a turkey. Sawyer wanted his turkey to be green! When Daddy came home I showed what Sawyer did in school and he thought it was an Indian chief; which after looking at it it does kind of look like that as well. So to Sawyer it's a turkey and to Tom and I it's an Indian chief!


Sawyer using markers to color a picture by coloring by numbers. I still identified the numbers for him but he definitely knows his colors. He is showing off his muscles because he made the marker cap click by himself!


Sawyer also learned a new memory verse at Rainbows which went right along with our unit; "Give thanks to the Lord." (Sawyer now knows three memory verses!) The corn with popcorn glued on he made at Mie Mie and Papa's house during the Schoessow Thanksgiving party.
