A Time to Give Thanks

I am so proud of your children for their performance of "A Time to Give Thanks." They did an excellent job! Last week, we talked about the First Thanksgiving and the things we are thankful for. I am always reminded, especially on Thanksgiving, of all the things I have to be thankful for. Your children are all blessings in my life. They make my job exciting and enjoyable every day. They surprise me and fascinate me constantly. What a special group of kids they are! I am also blessed that they all have such great, supportive parents! Thank you for all you do!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Below are a few pictures from "A Time to Give Thanks."


For the last couple weeks, the Second Graders have been learning about Native Americans. They learned about several tribes: Sioux, Makah, Mohawk, and Anasazi. They used social studies books to research information about each tribe.
The Third Graders read a great story called Molly's Pilgrim. Molly is a modern day pilgrim and her classmates learn the true meaning of Thanksgiving when she shares her Thanksgiving project with them. After reading the book together, the Third Graders worked on some comprehension and vocabulary activities related to the story.
The Third Graders also finished reading Sacajawea and wrote three paragraph essays about her life. They did a fabulous job! Their work is on display in the hallway.



Alan participate in this year's Science Fair. His project was called "The Electrophorus." Way to go, Alan!
Katie was the Virtual Field Trip Planner. She took us on a trip to Minnesota. Katie made a book to show the things we would be doing and seeing on the trip.

Danielle was the Star of the Week. This is her acrostic poem. Next week, she will ask the class her survey question.
