Turkey Time!!!

With only two days of school this week, I decided we would spend some time talking about all things turkey and Thanksgiving. Over the past couple of days, we have been busy playing turkey math and phonics games, making fact family turkeys, learning about the Pilgrims’ voyage on the Mayflower, and the very first Thanksgiving. Students made bracelets with colored beads to help them remember the story of the first Thanksgiving. We also took a virtual tour of a replica of the Mayflower and decided as a class that 66 days in the lower deck of a small ship with 102 pilgrims would have been pretty uncomfortable. We also read There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie! and students made an old lady craft, sequenced the events of the story, and even predicted what would happen at the end.
