In Music we will be making drums and doing the Rain Dance. We will also play Indian Jump to the Beat and the Indian Hoop Game. The children are also continuing to practice the Thanksgiving songs that they will be performing at the feast.
In Social Studies we will be reading about the Pilgrims sailing on the Mayflower. We will read what they ate and how they slept on the ship. The children will be making their own placemats to eat on for the feast. We will read a collection of poems from It's Thanksgiving and listen to a book and tape: Thanksgiving Mice.
Some of the students will be learning words that begin with the letter "t" and tracing and writing the letter "t". Some of the students will be reviewing sounds "ar", "er", "ir" and "ur". They will also be working on blends in thier Explode the Code Workbook.
Please be reviewing and practicing the letter names and sounds at home every evening as well as the books or word lists that are being sent home each week.
Our Thanksgiving Feast will be this Thursday at 11:15. The children will be learning new songs for the performance. They will be dressing up like Pilgrims for the feast. The children have enjoyed learning the motions for some of the Thanksgiving songs. They will perform first and then we will have our feast. Parents are welcome to attend and listen to the children sing.
