Giving Thanks
We've been talking about what it means to give thanks in our classroom and how different people all over the world give thanks in their country. We talked about the difference between Pilgrim and Indians and what their schooling, clothing and everyday life looked like compared to ours. Our class came up with tribal headbands with 3 colored feathers to represent what things they have in their life to give thanks for. We also created unique tribal names for each student in the classroom. I am so amazed at the amount of compassion and understanding my students have for others and how quick to come up with solutions to those who are less fortunate than we are. Our school is advocating a canned food drive this year to raise food and money for those less fortunate that need our help. If you wish to donate please send canned goods up through November 19th with your child so that our class can earn points for all the people we've helped. Thank you parents so much for your continued support.
Election Day (Late)
Over the past few weeks our class has been discussing the upcoming Election. In honor of election day we hosted a classroom election to see what it would be like to vote for someone in our very own classroom to be a leader. We voted for a classroom President and a classroom Vice President. Our class did an amazing job with the election and really comprehending what it means to be a leader of, not only our classroom, but our country. Before we held our election we brainstormed as a class about what characteristics we would like our leader to have and what traits would be different or the same for our Vice President.
I am so very proud of the future leaders I have right here in my classroom this year.
We were able to utilize some wonderful resources from pinterest! Check them out. :)

Fire Safety (Late)
This post is a little late coming. At the end of last month we celebrated Fire Safety month and enjoyed visiting with a few firemen from a local fire station. We learned the importance of having a safety plan for our school, our classroom and as well as our homes. Please discuss your family's fire safety plan with your child. As always thanks for checking in!

Math- Halloween Lesson
Click on my TPT logo on my right side column and head over to my page to check out my Halloween Math Lesson or click the link below!
Holiday Safety
It's almost that time again. The time where all of our friends young and old dress up in silly costumes and spend time out trick or treating or inside at a holiday gathering. I want to remind everyone to be smart and safe. There is no greater fun than fellowship with friends and family but where there's fun there's also the possibility for mischief or not so smart decisions. Please be safe and make good decisions and Enjoy! Make sure to stay in large groups, carry flash lights, always have an adult present and be aware of your surroundings (cars, people you don't know etc.) Love to all my precious babies!
