Miss Kathy and Miss Sharon brought a box to circle and told us there was a surprise inside. They gave us four clues.
- He is very scared because Thanksgiving is close.
- He is very colorful.
- We saw his family at the Pumpkin Patch.
- He has two legs.
We had many ideas. We guessed a chicken, a car, a dragon and many other guesses. Each time they opened the box and asked, "Are you a chicken?" "Are you a car?" "Are you a dragon?" And each time their friend inside said, "no!" Miss Kathy and Miss Sharon gave us two more clues.
- He has lots of feathers.
- We each made two of them today with our hands.
