Happy Thanksgiving!

For the month of November our class has been reading and learning about the Pilgrims, Native Americans, and the first Thanksgiving.  We learned about the voyage the Mayflower took and how the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock.

After learning about the Pilgrims, our class worked together to create a Venn diagram comparing colonial America to the present.  Here's what we came up with:

 

Buddies

On Monday the kindergartners had "buddy time" with the second graders.  Together we read the story A Plump and Perky Turkey, by Teresa Bateman.  After the story, the students disguised bare turkeys and created their own stories of how their turkeys escaped being eaten on Thanksgiving!  The students were really creative and had a lot of fun!

Book It

Please remember that this is the last week to send in your turkeys with the titles and authors of books you've read with your child.  If your child has met the 10 book goal, they will receive a certificate to Pizza Hut!

Happy Thanksgiving!
