Pilgrims and "Kinder"ians


Let me start by telling you that we did not have a typical week this week in kindergarten. We continued our unit on Thanksgiving and learned about the Pilgrims.


 As you can see, there are many benefits to being in 5K.




 Our classroom was temporarily turned into a
tee-pee and my students transformed into
Native Amerians.



   We read many stories about the Pilgrims and their journey to America. We learned about the trip on the Mayflower and their first winter. Finally we talked, created, read, drew, and acted out how the Pilgrims and Indians met and worked together.





   And yes, if you were wondering, this day was as fun as it looks.



 After giving thanks to God, we sat down and enjoyed our Thanksgiving feast in our room.
   It was not a "typical" Thanksgiving meal but we did the best we could with what we had.....and isn't that what THEY did too?



    Our turkey centerpiece turned out sooooo cute!

    All in all it was a good day. We are thankful for ... 
        ....good friends, good food, a great school, a place to live,....
    ....good laughs, healthy children, our family , a free country,...
..great parents, and the love and forgiveness of our Lord and savior.
Have a Happy Thanksliving!
