Can You Believe It's Almost Thanksgiving?

Wow, this year has gone by fast!  I feel like just last week was the first part of November!

This week, students finished our Famous Americans study with a writing "craftivity" on which famous American they would love to have dinner with and talk to.





I wasn't able to get pictures of all the fabulous turkeys that came in this week, so be sure to look over the Thanksgiving weekend for that!

Our Veterans pictures will be going to the Louisa VFW to help brighten their walls and give thanks to the men and women who have served!

Don't forget!  Jamestown is coming THIS TUESDAY.  Please make sure you sent in the $1.25 with your student.  I'll be posting pics on the blog this week about it! :)

How Many Things Can You Cram in a Week?

Good question!

Monday, we celebrated Veteran's Day by reading a special book, and then getting a copy of a book that was created for 2nd grade students about veterans.  We also created special Veteran's Day thank you notes that we will be sending to the Louisa VFW!


Wednesday was our Field Trip to the Frontier Culture Museum.  Thank goodness the snow/cold weather held off.  It turned out to be a very nice day.  Check out some of our pictures below!

This coming week and next week, we will focus on turkeys, Thanksgiving, and of course, realizing everything we have to be thankful for!  Throw in some plural nouns, adjectives, and place value, and you have rounded out our week!  Please don't forget the "Turkey Projects" are due Wednesday, and that our Famous Americans test is THIS Tuesday!  Our next unit will be "Economics," which we'll finish after Thanksgiving break.

Enjoy the pics of our field trip - students had an awesome time and most said they'd love to go back! :)
