Almost Thanksgiving!

Happy Tuesday! Excitement is building in the air for Thanksgiving. The students are excited for the food, play time with friends and family, and some time off. We have only one more day to go. 

We went to Adoration this morning. We enjoyed spending some quiet time with Jesus telling him all that we are thankful for. 

We wrapped up our story today in Language Arts. We practiced using our oral vocabulary words in sentences and practiced reading digraphs sh, th, and ng and closed syllable words. Then we wrote sentences with our sight words before reading a story in our decodable reader booklets. We ended our Language Arts class by working in literacy centers. 

Math class was quite simple today; we took a fact test. We'll resume the math learning after the break. 

Then it was time to celebrate Thanksgiving. We read about the first Thanksgiving and created a story booklet about it. Then we compared and contrasted the First Thanksgiving with Thanksgiving today. To celebrate all the good food we will eat on Thanksgiving, we made a piece of pumpkin pie. 

Here are some pictures. One picture shows our Pilgrim project from yesterday; one shows a penmanship project we worked on today, and one shows our pumpkin pie. 

Just a reminder that the students will be dismissed early tomorrow!
