Happy Thanksgiving!

Like many schools, we used the impending holiday as an excuse to break our routines and do something different.  However, we did learn quite a bit about the first Thanksgiving.

We played with our Mayflower and First Thanksgiving Little People set.  These are new and are such a great toy!  They have played with them for hours.  By the way, the Academy uniform for the kindergarten student was "a snowflake."



We did lots of Thanksgiving busy work.  It seemed a little boring, but I forgot how much fun holiday themed activities are to kids!




While they worked on their turkey work, played with play-doh, and played with the Little People, I read the Magic Tree House Thanksgiving book.  It probably took over an hour, but we read the whole thing and they enjoyed listening to it.  Zoe followed the plot the whole time.  They were amazed that we read a long chapter book in one day!


Happy Thanksgiving!
