Here are a few pages from the week before Thanksgiving.  

A color by number - Turkey.

Connect the dots turkey.  It sure is neat to see how neat Jakob is coloring now.

This was a puzzle.  Jakob actually did not get to finish it at school and colored it at home for me!

They were working on comparing numbers to 5.  If there was a shape drawn outside of the boxes, then you know it was more than.  If there were not as many filled in, it is less than 5.
