Happy Thanksgiving! I am so thankful for my students and families that make coming to school such a blessing each morning! This week the students enjoyed a special Thanksgiving lunch with family and friends, as well as, talk about what we are thankful for this year.


Fun at Home
Practicing how to spell your name can be fun! In the classroom we have letters hung on the wall at a height that the students can interact with easily. The students enjoy finding the letters of their name! If you have some letter flashcards at home, you could tape them to the wall or spread them out on the floor and help your child spell their name! Call out each letter of their name in order and let the child find the letters. Students take a great deal of pride in their names - which makes this a very rewarding activity for them. A couple of students are almost able to do this independently, but do not be discouraged if your child needs guidance. It may take months for students to learn how to spell their name.

Take a look at our week!


 We had a wonderful turnout at the Thanksgiving Feast! 


 Sometime my favorite moments in the classroom, 
are the unplanned moments...
Like when the students decided to work together to build a city. 
We used Legos for the buildings and put them next to the road. 
I was thrilled to see them working together!


Ms. Cari's son had some time off of school for Thanksgiving. 
The students loved spending time with him! 
He read them books and chased them 
around the playground at recess!


 We made paper plate pumpkin pies! Yum!!




 We practiced finding the letters in our name!



Happy Thanksgiving!
