We have had a wonderful week so far in Kindergarten learning all about the First Thanksgiving. We have learned about the Pilgrims who traveled from England to America on the Mayflower. We have learned about the Native American Indians who helped teach the Pilgrims how to plant corn, hunt and fish. The best part of our week was when we got to dress up like the Pilgrims and Indians during our Thanksgiving Feast! We ate delicious turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, green beans and apple sauce. Cake was our dessert as we celebrated our Thanksgiving meal together. Mrs. Deaton and Mrs. Feller think we are the cutest Pilgrims and Indians around!
We have also been doing a lot of things with turkeys this week in school. We made a sight word turkey, sorted pictures by sounds on turkey feathers and ordered turkeys by number. During math, we have been talking about numbers that are more, less or equal. We know that the alligator likes to eat the bigger number when we are comparing numbers! We also have been practicing groups of numbers in math. We played a fun game called "Mingle". Mrs. Deaton lets us walk around the room saying "mingle" until she calls out a number. We have to quickly get in groups with the number of students that Mrs. Deaton called out. It is so fun to get in groups with our friends and see if there are any left overs. Guess what? With this game, we have been doing multiplying! It's so cool!
South Elementary School's Chick-fil-a night was on Tuesday night! 8 people from our class went to eat there that night. We tied with Mrs. Loden's class as the class with the MOST people who ate at Chick-fil-a. We are sharing the cow this month with Mrs. Loden's class.
Thank you so much to Mrs. Dishno for sending in some delicious cookies that look like pumpkin pie! We all loved how they looked and tasted!!! Yummy!! You can find Mrs. Dishno's cookie business (The Sweet Elements) on Facebook. Check out her awesome cookies she makes!
