I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends. It was nice to have a short break, but we will be back to a normal routine for the next few weeks before Christmas vacation starts. There will be another early release day this Friday, so student swill be out at 2:15pm. Also, I have medical appointments that day and there will be a sub in my class. For that reason, I will not send home any homework on Thursday night just to simplify some things while I am gone.
As for last week, it was short but full of excitement for Thanksgiving, not to mention the delicious lunch served on Wednesday by the kitchen staff! We did focus on some historical facts about the Pilgrim's and their journey to the new world. The students also got to watch a DVD version from Peanuts about the Pilgrims that actually had a lot of historical details. In addition, we read and discussed a short poem on things to be thankful for. Then the students shared what they were thankful for in a brief sentence and drew a picture to match.
Kind Regards,
Julie Brown
