 THANKFULNESS

As the Thanksgiving holiday quickly approaches, during the next 13 school days, we will be talking about an attitude of gratitude.  During this time, the students will be challenged to be more thankful--show appreciation more--and be more gracious throughout the remainder of this month.

Full Day Kindergarten--The students will be discussing things they are thankful for and then will complete a Thanksgiving hidden picture from the Highlights for Kids website.

Second Grade--The students will be learning about the First Thanksgiving by watching a BrainPOP Jr.. video.  After the video, the students will brainstorm a list of items that they are thankful for.  They will learn about the "comma" key and how to use a comma to separate words and word groups with a series of three or more. The students will then use Pixe to create an "I am Thankful" cornucopia.

First Grade--The students will be learning about the First Thanksgiving by watching a Brainpopjr. video. After the video, the students will review how to create capital letters on the computer. The students will create a Thanksgiving placecard for their Thanksgiving table.
