Hello Everyone! I am so thankful for having today off. I got almost all of my Christmas shopping done, graduation announcements addressed and in the mail, guest room ready for family coming in, and four of my curriculum units freshened up and added to!!  Tomorrow? Cleaning and cooking!!  Can't wait! I also look forward to going unplugged for a little while, so I plan on sharing all four units tonight.  They will get our first graders through the three weeks before Christmas break and the week we come back.   I first want to share some pics of our Thanksgiving feast from last week.  This was our 10th annual first grade feast.  Every year gets better and better.  We started the day making our Thanksgiving retelling bracelet, making butter, and telling what we were most thankful for. We set the "table" and let the kids choose if they wanted to be Pilgrims or Native Americans. The macaroni and cheese is always the biggest hit.   What a sight!!! 125 fi...

Hello Everyone! I just wanted to send out a quick post tonight and show you how our little turkeys turned out!!  After reading a couple of the books I suggested last time, Turkey Trouble and Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving , the kids had a blast brainstorming together all the things that we could eat on Thanksgiving instead of turkey.  After writing a little message from Turkey, they created their turkeys. I love how each one turned out a little different.  Want the patterns? Gobble Gobble, click HERE!! So, from our little classroom to yours, Happy Thanksgiving!!  Joyfully! Nancy
