Thanksgiving Unit| Week 13

We had so much fun learning about turkeys and doing Thanksgiving crafts this past week of tot school!

Our time was spent doing free printables, visiting the library, reading books about Thanksgiving and visiting a local bakery for a 'turkey' sugar cookie. She brought her kangaroo along for the treat.

A quick activity was making these simple 'sun catchers' with contact paper and tissue paper. We also picked up a library craft packet and made this hat. She said 'GOBBLE GOBBLE' when she wore it.

Another simple activity was drawing a turkey and having her use dot stickers to 'color' in the feathers.

She loves to use the library tablets and makes sure to clean up and push her chair in afterward without prompting from her mama.

Books that stood out this week included Bear Says Thanks by Karma Wilson, The Berenstain Bears Give Thanks and Thanks for Thanksgiving by Julie Markes.

We worked on prewriting, gluing and placement of paper. She does so great with a glue bottle and also with a glue stick.

Her memory verse this month was "I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart. Psalm 111.1"

And a family photo from our Thanksgiving. We hope you had a great one!

With heart from our home,

Single Serving Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

I had a few hours to myself today and decided to search for a good single serving chocolate chip cookie recipe. I found one by cookingclassy.com and thankfully it turned out so great! It was similar to the taste and size of Crumbl Cookies chocolate chip cookie (they are my favorite!) The dough is a very crumbly consistency so I recommend once you have your baking sheet lined with parchment paper to just dump it on top and form it into a large disc. I had a hard time trying to get the dough to come together so I opted to do this instead. See the recipe below! Ingredients: 2 TBSP butter (I used unsalted) 3 TBSP packed light-brown sugar. 1 pinch of salt. 1 TBSP whisked egg (crack egg in bowl and mix up well then scoop out 1 TBSP and add to your bowl.) 1/4 tsp vanilla. 1/3 cup all purpose flour. 1/8 tsp baking soda. 3-4 TBSP chocolate chips. Recipe: Melt butter in microwave until only a little left is unmelted. mix together so that all is melted. Place butter in fridge to cool s...

Simple Chicken Tortilla Soup Recipe

My husband found this recipe a couple months ago and made it on a gloomy Saturday. It's been in my head to make it again with leftover chicken and this week I decided to do just that! I try and stretch a whole chicken to 3 meals since we can get one chicken from Walmart for under $6. It makes for a very budget friendly week of groceries when we do this. The last time we had a whole chicken my husband also saved the broth and that's the broth I used to make this soup. It was SO flavorful! The original recipe comes from All Recipes and I will link it HERE , but I did switch it up and exclude a few things. Enjoy! Ingredients: 1 onion, chopped. 3 cloves garlic, minced. 1 TBSP olive oil. 2 tsp chili powder. 1 (28 oz) can crushed tomato. 1 (10.5 oz) can chicken broth (or homemade). 1 1/4 cups water. 2 cans whole kernel corn, drained. 2 cans black beans, drained and rinsed. 1/4 cup cilantro, plus extra for garnish. 2 cups shredded chicken, cooked. Corn muffins or tortilla chi...
