First Thanksgiving

Today we got to celebrate Thanksgiving together as a class by having a feast!

We had so much fun dressing up as Pilgrims and Native Americans, eating kid style Thanksgiving foods.

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday, and safe travels!

Let's be Thankful

This week we learned all about The First Thanksgiving.

We learned that the Pilgrims came to America in search of freedom, but found hardship at first.  They were give 5 kernels of corn, so we each planted 5 kernels of corn to see if we could sprout the same food that the Pilgrims did.

 We also learned that the Pilgrims traveled to America by ship, and it was called The Mayflower.

 Everyone made a Pilgrim self portrait.

 Also this month we have been talking about being thankful, and how important it is to let people know that you are thankful for them.  Each student wrote and hand delivered a thank you note to a different special member of our staff.

Mrs. Korte our nurse

 Mrs. Suski our secretary

 Mrs. Dobbins the principal

 Mrs. Palazzi the technology specialist

 Mrs. Straessle in PreK B

 Mrs. Riley who used to be in our classroom

 Mr. Rickey the school cook

 Mr. Legris our music teacher

 Mrs. Handloser the Vice Principal

 Mr. David the school handyman

 Mrs. Reynolds our Spanish teacher

 Mrs. Baker the PreK B teacher

 There were many more that, unfortunately, I did not get photographs with.

 Finally, we couldn't talk about The First Thanksgiving without learning about the Native Americans who helped the Pilgrims adapt to their new home.

We drew cave drawing pictures on our vests, made patterns on our headbands, and strung colorful beads on necklaces to make us into Native Americans.

We had a super fun time learning all about the first American settelers this week!

To wrap it up, here's a big shout out to this adorable star, Hollace!

Happy Birthday sweet girl!
