We had an impressive turnout for the annual Thanksgiving Day luncheon - 100% participation! Each student had a family member join them for lunch. Enjoy pictures on the "Thankful Families" page on the blog - found on the tab on the top. We have so much to be thankful for this season. Please enjoy your break next week with your families.
This week, we have continued learning about the story of the first thanksgiving with the Pilgrims and the Native Americans. We have looked closely at the life of the Pilgrims and the hardships they faced and made connections to our community unit. Students noticed that the Native Americans showed empathy toward the Pilgrims when life was not going well for them and together they created a community that lived, worked, played, and celebrated life together. Throughout this mini writing unit students are learning to use public notes, make their own notes, and are increasing their knowledge of complete sentences, and proper punctuation while thinking deeply about the events of the past and how they relate to today. INQUIRE with your child about the book, "The Story of the Pilgrims."
