Thanksgiving

We are so very Thankful for all the blessings we have!  Our school, our friends and our families are just a few of the things we talked about being thankful for all the time.  On Monday, we had some pilgrim visitors come and tell us about the pilgrim's journey across the sea and the hardships they faced when they reached the new world.  We also heard about what the first Thanksgiving was like and the types of food that was served.  Also this week in math we worked on planning a Thanksgiving meal with a budget of $100.  We used real life grocery store ads we found online to plan and budget our meals.  We also made turkey hats and on each feather we wrote something we are thankful for.  We are one thankful flock!

Exciting Day!

Wednesday, November 20 was an exciting day for our class! During chapel, Audrey and her brother and sister were baptized!  We are so excited to welcome them as fellow members of God's family.  After chapel we had our annual Operation Christmas Child packing party.  Everyone in class got to pack a shoe box with socks, washcloths, soap, combs, paper, pencils, crayons, and even a few toys!  These shoe boxes will be sent to kids all over the world.  We prayed over our boxes and asked God to use the boxes we packed to share His love with others.  It was an awesome day!

Young Readers' Day

On Tuesday, Nov. 12 we celebrated Young Readers' Day.  We started the day with 2 guest readers who shared some fun stories with us.  Thank you Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Necker!  Later in the morning, the 7th graders came to our classroom and we read together by flashlight.  Then we made fun origami bookmarks together.  We also received a gummy worm  treat since we are "book worms" and received a challenge to read 5 books in a month to earn a dress down pass.  Celebrating reading is so fun!
