Class activities for Wednesday, November 24

Today we focused on our Thanksgiving blessings. We listened and learned a dance to the Shaker song, Simple Gifts:

Simple Gifts

We then wrote down all of the things we are thankful for (our Thanksgiving blessings). Some students filled a page and started onto the back. Image courtesy of Cybersalt.org

After listing our blessings, students created a wreath to display some of their blessings.

Hope your family has a happy Thanksgiving holiday!

  • Capitol Field Trip on Tuesday, December 9. Click here for more information or a permission slip. Let me know if you would like to chaperone.
  • Donations for sponsored family: our class will be collecting donations for a few families in need this holiday season. A letter went home with students explaining food and gift donations. Our class will be donating items for a 7-year old boy. Several students volunteered to donate one of the gifts from the shopping list provided; others volunteered to donate wrapping paper and tape. We will wrap the gifts on Friday, December 12. Thanks for helping this family have a wonderful Christmas!
