\nHappy Thanksgiving! We had lots of Thanksgiving fun going on in our classroom. Here are some of the highlights:<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nBecause we are learning about writing recounts<\/a>, I had the kiddies write about what they eat on Thanksgiving (because it is a recount, it had to be foods they have had on past thanksgivings). After using as many Ws as they could, we did a craftivity to go along with our writing. I had my firsties cut out some of the foods that they wrote about and paste them on a paper plate . Then I glued on some cutlery and made a simple hallway display. They turned out to be all kinds of adorable <3<\/div>\n

\n(I found this adorable activity idea on Pinterest of course!)<\/i><\/div>\n

\n\u00a0I also sent home one of my favourite family thanksgiving activities; I challenged my grade one families to help a turkey make it through thanksgiving by disguising it. I got some hilarious “turkeys”…<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nThis one is a partridge..complete with real partridge feathers!<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n\u00a0This turkey has nicer legs than I do! Ou la la…<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\u00a0At our word work centre the kiddies made word family turkeys…<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\u00a0We also made thanksgiving place mats (which I laminated to make them spill-proof!). They traced one of their feet to make the turkey’s body, and used their hands for feathers. Then the kiddies wrote about what they were thankful for…<\/div>\n
\n<\/a>\u00a0<\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\nThat’s all for now. I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving long weekend!
\nHere’s a fun little Thanksgiving FREEBIE<\/a> for ya’ll:<\/p>\n
