I'm cruising through these posts, and am all the way to Thanksgiving now! (Good thing November was a bit of a slow month...) Anyway, we had a little project going throughout the month at our house.
Right at the end of October we had our first parent / teacher conference with N's teacher. She told us one of the things he needed to work on was his scissor skills... how will he ever get into collage! They're also doing lots of handwriting at school, so I stole this idea from a friend of mine to help with both.
We wrote the things we were thankful for on feathers (that N cut out) throughout the month. N kept coming up with pretty creative things to write, like "Fun 2 Play", an indoor playground near by, and airplanes. One day he asked me what I was thankful for, and I said, "my friends." He took the liberty of putting that on a feather for me, and he wrote, "N, e, Daddy." Apparently I don't have any friends outside this house! All month long we kept asking e what he was thankful for, and all he would say is, "Baby Cow." Baby Cow is a little plastic cow that he is completely attached to. Apparently e loves him more than us!
Anyway, it turned out really well, despite my horrible artistic skills. We sort of missed the turkey in the window when we took it down!

So cute! I'm gonna have to steal this idea next Thanksgiving. :) And, we were told at C's parent/teacher conference that she needs to work on her scissor skills, too. LOL
