YOUTH NEWS
-Teri Johnson
In November we read books about
scarecrows and Thanksgiving.
Handprint turkeys with feathers,
pilgrim hats and scarecrows were
made this month.
This year we are working on more
involvement activities using a board and cutouts. The
kids helped a turkey get back his feather with different
colored feathers. Such as giving a turkey back his
feathers, learning our colors and putting a body together,
learning our parts and order of items.
