Our Thanksgiving Feast

We Made Butter!

We are Thankful for...

Turkey Time!

        Families disguised Tom the Turkey so he wouldn't be eaten on Thanksgiving Day!

Pilgrims and Native Americans

This week we read many stories about the Pilgrims and Native Americans and how they celebrated Thanksgiving.  We took a virtual field trip to Plymouth.  Check it out:  http://www.scholastic.com/scholastic_thanksgiving/feast/webquest.htm

We ate a "Mayflower meal."  (cheese, unsalted crackers, and beef jerky)

 We made retell bracelets of the First Thanksgiving. 

We had fun making our Native American outfits. 

We made Native American and Pilgrim toys.  (ring on a stick)

We sorted pictures.  Past or Present?

Fun in November

Look at all the fun we had this week.

50's Day

Our Class Tree

We have adopted a tree.  We will observe our tree throughout the year to see its changes. 

Leaves!

We had fun with our 3rd grade chums.  We compared and contrasted leaves.  Check out our Venn Diagrams. 

Going on a leaf hunt.

"Raccoons and Ripe Corn"

We learned a thing or two about raccoons as we read the story Raccoons and Ripe Corn.  We also learned how to sequence a story.  The children loved the book so much that we just had to shuck and eat corn!   

Apples!

Just as Johnny Appleseed traveled around the country sharing his apple seeds, we traveled around the school showing our appreciation to others by giving them a bag full of chocolate and a note of encouragement. 

   Of course, we had to enjoy some of the chocolate. 

Here are some of our apple centers!
