 Thanksgiving 11/19/09 Opening song


 * __Adult Aside __**: Over the weeks, we’ve gone through all 6 of the traits that will help your child be ready to read. The most important thing is to model reading at home and to read, read, read to your children! With that in mind, this week I’ve picked some fun books to get us all ready for Thanksgiving.


 * Read **In November

Five Little Turkeys Five little turkeys standing at the door, One waddled off, and then there were four.  Four little turkeys sitting near a tree, One waddled off, and then there were three.  Three little turkeys with nothing to do, One waddled off, and then there were two.  Two little turkeys in the morning sun, One waddled off, and then there was one.  One little turkey better run away, For soon it will be Thanksgiving Day.
