Ganon Aleph Celebrates Thanksgiving With All of ECD

In preparation for our Thanksgiving feast, the children husked ears of corn which the kitchen ladies cooked up for us.  We then donned our Pilgrim costumes and marched around the entire school along with the Native American kindergarteners.  We sang songs as we passed all the classes who were standing on the sidelines.  The children in Ganon Aleph were excited to see their older siblings and friends.  We then marched to the cafeteria where we enjoyed traditional Thanksgiving foods cooked and prepared by all the early childhood classes.  Happy Thanksgiving to one and all!

 

We are Thankful ...

The past few weeks Gan Bet has been preparing for our wonderful Thanksgiving feast that we celebrated yesterday with the entire Early Childhood Department. We wore our Native American clothing. We decorated our vests and wore our headdress with our special Native American names on them. We wore our pattern necklaces. Once we were dressed, we had a parade and sang songs on our way to our yummy feast. We sang "Adamah, V'shamayim", " This Land is Your Land", and " The Turkey Ran Away". Then we sat at the table with yummy treats that all the classes prepared and cooked. Before we began our feast, we made Brachot to thank HaShem for the delicious treats. We ate blondies, rice krispy treats, oatmeal cookies, corn, pumpkin cake and apple juice. Then we sang songs. The children had a wonderful time. The children are excited to bring home their Native American clothing and wearing them at their family Thanksgiving Feast!

Pre-Thanksgiving Fun

We paraded around the school with Ganon Bet in our Pilgrim costumes yesterday, singing Thanksgiving songs and visiting some of the older classes along the way. We ended our parade in the cafeteria where we met all the Kindergarteners, dressed as Native Americans, for our giant feast! Each class contributed a traditional Thanksgiving food which they made themselves. What a fun pre-Thanksgiving celebration we had!

Husking Corn for the Feast

The children in Ganon Aleph used their strong muscles to husk corn this morning! We then delivered the corn to Terri and the kitchen staff to cook for Tuesday's early childhood Thanksgiving feast. Each class prepared a dish to contribute to the "communal" feast.
