Monday, November 12, 2012

We had a great day! This morning we wrote acrostic poems about things we are thankful for.  Then, we watched a video about the Pilgrims, when they first came to America, and the first Thanksgiving.  We read about Thanksgiving in our Social Studies book and then watched a factual video about Thanksgiving today.  We then compared today's Thanksgiving celebrations with the first Thanksgiving on a Venn Diagram.  After that, we reviewed consumers and producers by making a wheel.  You can use that to help your child understand the concepts for Friday's Social Studies test on Unit 2.  A reminder sheet is coming home today with the pages you need to review with your child.  Then, we re-read our lesson on natural resources and made some vocabulary cards for you to study with as well.  This afternoon we read a Mo Willems Elephant and Piggie book.  Check some out at your library...they are hilarious!  In math, we are reviewing for our subtraction test on Thursday.  We made some fact family turkeys.  We also have one page of math homework for practice.  At the end of the day, we went to the computer lab. 

Please help us by sending in a Thanksgiving recipe.  A recipe card and parent letter is coming home with your student today.  Please send it back by Wednesday, if possible.
