Monday November 22, 2010

We continued talking about food today, answering the question, "What is a food that you know how to make?" Many students thought that they had never helped make something in the kitchen--so here's some homework--get them involved in a cooking project and have some fun! Kids love measuring, pouring, and mixing to create a special treat the entire family will enjoy!

Mrs. Abbey read Thanksgiving on Plymouth Plantation, which showed us what life was like back in the time of the first thanksgiving. We compared the foods that they ate at the feast back then with the foods that we eat at our Thanksgiving feasts.

In handwriting, the students practiced making the lowercase "d". This letter, like the "a," is challenging for students to make correctly.

We practiced solving story problems using math manipulatives.

The students created a bar graph of Thanksgiving foods, and used the graph to count how many of each food there was.

Tomorrow is the last day of school for the week. Enjoy the Thanksgiving Break!

I will see many of you at conferences tonight! If you arrive early, take a few minutes to look through your child's handwriting book and science notebook. Your child's "I am Thankful for...
" turkey is also hanging outside our room.
