Our bags are packed and we are ready to visit other countries to see how they celebrate the holidays!
The children are being exposed to informational texts in school. We have been learning about the text features and how to become super smart about the topic we are reading. The children have also been writing informational books during writing workshop. We are learning a lot about various topics after reading all of these informational texts!
The children had a fabulous time learning about Thanksgiving. We read several blooms about Thanksgiving and completed many activities that revolved around this national holiday. Mrs. Marshall and Sadie dropped in and gave us a yummy treat. We also completed a Thanksgiving project! The thankful turkey was a perfect centerpiece. We made butter and had some with delicious bread! Everyone had a turn to shake the heavy cream. The children made bracelets out of beads which symbolized the story of Thanksgiving. Each bead represented a part of the story.
The students have enjoyed using mini lap tops our classroomThey are so engaged and love playing some literacy games while having fun at the same time!
