Thanksgiving!

We had a great Thanksgiving party & feast on November 20th! While the photos may be a little late, I am still as grateful as I was then for having such a great group of students in Room 1!

We started our morning off by attending the Second Graders’ play, Turkeys Go on Strike. The play, just like it sounds, is about a group of turkeys who decide that they don’t want to be the main course in the Thanksgiving meal. The cranberries and squash, just to name a few, try to state their case of why they should be the main course. The play also retold the first Thanksgiving story and was all around a fun way to start our morning!

After the play, we joined the other kindergarten classes in Room 18 for our Thanksgiving feast. The kids got to do many fun Thanksgiving themed activities including making Pilgrim hats, Native American hats, shakers, necklaces, as well as played tic-tac-toe, colored and drew turkeys.

Here are pictures from our party...

Thanks to Mr. Andrew (Patrick’s dad) for ending the day with a fun, hands-on art project .... Indian corn!

 Beading away!

 Hard at work counting those beads!

The finished product was great! Thanks, Mr. Andrew!

And of course, we couldn’t end the very exciting day without a nice calm-down with Maximo, our yoga instructor from the website GoNoodle!

I think this yoga position was called the pretzel! Is it bad if sometimes, when not participating in the yoga, I crack a laugh at these 5 & 6 year olds attempting to be tranquil during yoga exercises?! Too fun!
