We have had a great few weeks learning about Thanksgiving and what it means to be thankful. We have also discussed the differences between a "need" and a "want". This was a great reflection piece for all of the kiddos and they really had to think about things they needed and things they wanted.
We have been working on refections in math and this was a great way to see how the kiddos did with trying to make a reflection with shapes in the form of turkey feathers. They did really well with this and it was fun to watch once they got the hang of it.
The cornucopia was really fun for the kids. Many had never really heard of or seen one before. We talked about how this was used in many ways during the time of Native Americans and Pilgrims.We discussed how it was used for sharing food, but also for carrying and storing food. They did great!
Macaroni Necklaces were made to symbolize the jewelry that the Native Americans wore. We used different noodles to create patterns. So much fun!
We hope you have a very relaxing Thanksgiving with your families. We will be seeing you on Tuesday the 29th! Have a great break!
