Past and Present Thanksgiving Feast

All of Magnet Kinder (Mrs. Moore and Ms. Yoerges's classes) celebrated Thanksgiving by comparing the first Thanksgiving of 1621 with the present-day Thanksgiving. We performed songs, dressed as traditional Wamapnog Indians and Pilgrims, and acted in our reader's theatre production of "Thanksgiving Mice." Ms. Turkall came to our feast and read, "Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving," --what a treat! Thanks to all the parents who helped cook and serve! We had a great day!Check out the pictures on the right-hand side of the blog.

Look how wonderful "I Am" Art/Writing Project

 


Each student created a name pattern to not only fulfill higher-level thinking math objectives, but also to express their creativity. We spent some time talking about characters and emotions and talked about characteristics of ourselves. They wrote their own poems about everything they are ("I Am Poems"). Look how creative your student is!
