Happy Thanksgiving!

We took a break from our reading series since we had a such a short week. We were able to sneak a few extra projects and read a few extra books at this time. We learned a lot about what the pilgrims and Native Americans wore, ate, where they lived, etc. We noticed it was very different from us! We also had a Ping-Pong Ball activity from our special area teachers for great behavior on Monday and had RIF on Tuesday with our Reading Teachers!

Making our pilgrim hats.

After we used our tiles with our math trays to make our number partners, we decided to use ourselves! In this picture we were showing 3+3=6 (the pink yard stick separates the group.)

The Kindergartners were pilgrims and rode on the Mayflower to America! We learned about how the boat was very crowded and the pilgrims got sea sick and had to go through storms to get here!

This is how some of the pilgrims had to sleep because it was so crowded- back to back!

After 66 days we finally landed in America! The pilgrims were brought from the ship to the shore by boat.

As soon as they got on to the land, they had to build a homestead!

Singing "When I First Came to This Land"

We ate our lunch in the classroom on Wednesday just like a feast! We opened the doors to all the Kindergarten rooms and then shut off the lights. The kids thought this was so cool!

(Sorry for the late posts... my girls have been sick lately and I seem to not have any extra time!)
