We Are Thankful

We started talking about the first Thanksgiving last week.  The students learned about the Pilgrims, the Native Americans and the Mayflower. We read the story, The Littlest Pilgrim by Brandi Doughtery.  The students and I created a web about Mini, the Littlest Pilgrim.  We used as many adjectives as we could to describer her.  Some of the students pointed out that she was nice and helpful while others noticed that she was a good friend.

After we learned about the first Thanksgiving we thought of things that we are thankful for.  The students did a great job with this.  Some of the students shared that they were thankful for their Lego's and dolls while others said that they were thankful for their family, friends and shelter.
We wrote our ideas on leaves and hung them on our thankful tree.




We also created turkeys using our popcorn words. We have been working on these words for a while so the students picked 6 of our site words and wrote them on the feathers of their turkeys.

 Here are a few more things we are thankful for...



 After learning how to put numbers together and take numbers apart the the students created their own turkey math problems today.

As you can see, the students are doing an awesome job and I am so thankful for each and every one!
