No class blogger today as she was sick today, so it's just me again! We had another very busy day with lots going on! I will share a few pictures to go through our day.
One of our big projects today was to come up with a list of what we are thankful for. As a class we made a list of about 36 things that we are thankful for and discussed why. This is seemingly appropriate as Thanksgiving is FAST approaching! After we made our list of things we are thankful for, the kids each chose 3 things they are thankful for and why, and then wrote each thing on a turkey feather. After school tonight I pieced together our turkey and it is now on display in the hall for parents to see at conferences. I aimed to stress to the kids how lucky we are and that in parts of our state, country, and all around the world, many people do not have the same things we do and that we often take things for granted. Many of the kids had never heard that phrase before, so we talked about what that means too! :) I love our turkey feathers full of thanks and hope you will too, when you come for conferences! (Look for a picture of the completed project, in tomorrow's post)
In math today we further explored the concepts of even and odd and worked to define an even number and an odd number.
In social studies we learned about birdseye view and map symbols. We will continue with these map skills tomorrow.
