Thanksgiving the Pre-school Way

.


Sophie kicked off her week at school with a Thanksgiving party. There is limited space for parking at VCLC, so each class gets to celebrate separately. Sophie's party time is 9:30, so you can only imagine how fun it is for a bunch of 5 year olds to get sugared up on cake and juice as they're just starting their day. Though I suppose it's a better alternative to a full turkey feast to send the kids into a food coma.

The kids marched into the party room with these adorable Indian vests made out of brown paper bags and were also adorned colorful jewelry and a headdress. After working on a craft, they enjoyed a beautifully decorated cake - complete with fondant leaves and all.



Today Sophie came home with this handmade "turkey", that was supposed to be her snack at school. She was so proud of her handiwork that she opted to bring it home so I could take a picture of it rather than eating it like the rest of the kids! It's still sitting on the counter waiting for praise from Daddy.
