Friday, November 16th

Even though it was a shortened day for students, we sure packed in a lot of things!  We wrote about what we are planning to do over Thanksgiving break.  Then, we added a new poem to our binders.  We took our Social Studies test.  Then, we read a Reader's Theater play about Thanksgiving.  We made "glyphs" showing different things about how we celebrate Thanksgiving.  When our glyphs were completed, we added a demonstration on how to set a table.  Your child should be able to help you next Thursday by using his/her glyph!  I do hope you enjoy our Thanksgiving recipes next week.  The children really enjoyed sharing about the different ways we celebrate.  At the end of the day, we did a subject/predicate activity to make silly sentences about Thanksgiving.  I hope you all enjoy reading your child's directions on how to cook a turkey.  Most of them won't be helpful, but they sure are fun to read! Have a wonderful break.  I really enjoyed meeting with all of you this week.
