We had a fun week incorporating Thanksgiving themes into our curriculum. During Writer's Workshop we wrote about things that we are thankful for on feathers and added them to our turkey in the classroom. We realized we have lots to be thankful for! In math, we practiced addition and subtraction skills using a turkey, a pilgrim family and the Mayflower that use a color code for the answers. Of course, we are reading lots of Thanksgiving stories. During Reader's Workshop we are also using a collection of Mercer Mayer stories to help us understand how authors use problems and solutions to make their stories interesting. During our study of the past, we looked at how our clothes and toys have changed over time. We are enjoying My First Little House Books based on Laura Ingalls Wilder's series to learn about lifestyles during pioneer times. The Book Fair was also a big highlight of the week!
