Thanksgiving Projects

This past week our class did several projects to get us thinking about Thanksgiving and feeling thankful. We have been working on Small Moments stories during writers' workshop, so this week each child wrote a story about a time when they felt thankful. We also made Thanksgiving trees, where we each colored a tree, wrote things that we are thankful for on paper leaves, then pasted them to our trees to show the many things we treasure in our lives. Many of the leaves said things like "my family," "my home," "my cat," or "my brother." This was a very sweet project! Our class finished the week by making big paper turkeys, which many of you saw hanging outside of our classroom door at conferences yesterday! Below are some photos of us working on these projects.

Happy Thanksgiving!
