We Are Thankful!

As a part of the H.C.S. school-wide celebration for November, we were asked to create a video of what we are thankful for. We did a shared writing activity and then made this video to share. Enjoy!

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving! I am thankful for my amazing students and their supportive, generous families!

Turkeys in Disguise!

We had fun this past week learning about Thanksgiving and turkeys! We discussed the origins of the Thanksgiving holiday and learned about Native American and Pilgrim life from long ago. We shared family traditions that we all have. Perhaps one of the favorite activities was the Turkeys in Disguise project! Thank you to everyone who chose to participate. Enjoy the pictures below!

Our Pumpkin Quilt

In math, we have been focusing on shapes and patterns. To practice these skills, we created a class quilt. If you get a chance, please stop by and admire it in the hallway outside of our classroom!

Spooky Spiders!

We had a wonderful few weeks focusing on Halloween, pumpkins, and spiders! Here are some pictures from our spider week that was filled with learning about spiders, doing literacy centers with a spider theme, and making fun spider crafts!

The cutest spiders in town!
