Greetings! Today was a very short day in first grade. We were all excited for the early dismissal.
We began our day with Mass. Today Msgr. Lockard reminded us to take time tomorrow to thank God for all of the blessings we have. He also reminded us that we need to do this everyday and not just one day a year.
Back in the classroom, we did several Thanksgiving activities. We read This is the Feast which is about the First Thanksgiving. After reading the story we compared and contrasted the First Thanksgiving to Thanksgiving today.
After that we created a slice of pumpkin pie. We glued squares of orange and brown construction paper onto a paper plate. We added a cotton ball for whip cream. This made us extra hungry for pumpkin pie.
Then we read another story, Turkey Trouble. Afterwards we sequenced all of the disguises turkey used throughout the story. We then had the opportunity to design our own disguise for turkey.
Before we knew it, it was time to go home.
May you and your family have a blessed Thanksgiving day. Eat lots, laugh lots, and enjoy lots. See you on Tuesday!
