Thanksgiving

This week we are learning all about thanksgiving. We have done lots of talking about what we are thankful for (and some writing too!) We have also been learning about why we celebrate thanksgiving.

One project we did was to show why we are thankful. The students decorated paper plates to look like turkeys and Native Americans. One side is a turkey, flip it over, and voila!- you have a Native American. The students wrote what they ate thankful for on each of their feathers.

Another project we did really focused on the first thanksgiving and teamwork! The students were assigned to a team and together they had to build their very own mayflower ( but they were not allowed to name their own boat that). I have to say, they all worked extremely hard and hot along wonderfully while crafting their boats:)

You can all of our awesome creations below!
