Happy Thanksgiving

Our Thanksgiving themed shadow box dioramas!

Our two day project of making a Thanksgiving shadow box was  big hit! The kids colored people, a ship, and trees, assembled a paper house, and best of all made tiny clay food and a few animals. They used tiny sticks for an outdoor fire inside a ring of stones and put in so much effort, creativity, and thought for their final masterpiece. 

Deciding on the final touch!

I'm making blueberries next!

This campfire is awesome!

I like yours too!

What do you think?!

Ready to put the harvest in!

Ready to take home!

Look what we made!

So exciting!

I hope you get a chance to share their Adventures of a Pilgrim writing- they wrote 4 entries from the point of view of a Pilgrim child, and they make for terrific reading! They wrote about going on the Mayflower, working in their new community in Plymouth, meeting a Native American, and finally eating loads of food for the original Thanksgiving! They were shocked that eel was on the menu and that it was the kids who served the food and who ate last!


In other news we have had three chances to sing the tooth song since Ty, Scarlett, and Anisha all lost teeth, and we sang our Birthday song to celebrate three birthdays. Happy Birthday to Mark, Dragon, and Tiger! We welcomed 2nd grade readers who were in our class last year as well, and we are continuing to read to our friends too.

Thanks 2nd graders!

Love that design!

We have the same shirt!!

Nice reading!
