Spanish
Students made turkeys with each feather representing something they are thankful for. Of course, all was words were written in Spanish!
Library
In library, students also made turkeys, but on the feathers, students wrote the books they are thankful for.
PreK 3
PreK 3 did a lot of Thanksgiving crafts and writing activities. Here is a picture of one of my favorite crafts - turkey hats!
PreK 4
In PreK 4, students completed a fun activity that used the skill of following directions. Students were given paint and paper, but had no idea what they were about to create. As Mrs. McAdams gave a direction, such as "draw a brown oval below the brown circle, " students had fun guessing what they were creating. Before long, it was obvious they were creating turkeys!
2nd Grade
Second grade celebrated in a big way with Native American Day! The entire day was filled with meaningful learning, while students wore Native American dress and did a lot of their classwork underneath their life size teepee.
School-wide Celebration
Students and staff came dressed as Pilgrims and Native Americans for our very special school-wide Thanksgiving celebration!
We culminated our Thanksgiving celebration with a school-wide feast! Students first gathered and were divided into "family" groups. Each group had the surname of a family who was on the Mayflower. Our families had a mix of grade levels, allowing the older students to help the younger students. One of my FAVORITE things about our North campus is seeing the sweet interaction between all of our students. The way the older students help the younger students is heartwarming!
Each family moved to the cafeteria where parents were waiting to serve our feast! Students sat in family groups. We focused on manners making sure boys stood while girls were seated. Then, the oldest boy in the family offered a prayer of thanksgiving.
We do pause today and every day to say, "Thank you, God, for the blessing of our new campus!"
