This morning, we practiced with the fourth and fifth graders a few of our Christmas program songs. In Math, the students looked through Walmart Thanksgiving grocery ads and had to come up with a shopping list of items they would need for a Thanksgiving meal for their family. I had them make sure to pay attention to how they lined up the costs of the items so it would be easy to find the total cost of their meal. We also went on Scholastic's website to take a virtual field trip of the Mayflower. Ask your child what they learned about the trip on the Mayflower!
This afternoon, we did some creative and persuasive writing! The students were given the following topic: Pretend you're a turkey. Write a letter to Americans asking not to be eaten on Thanksgiving. Be sure to state your reasons why and also offer a suggestion of what animal they should eat instead. The class had a lot of fun writing these letters and sharing them!
There's no memory verse this week, but I did share a verse with the class that has to do with Thanksgiving and that my family prays after dinner together: "Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, his love endures forever." Psalm 107:1
There is no homework or reading for 20 minutes this week!
Conferences are tomorrow and Wednesday. Your child took a schedule home on Friday. I look forward to visiting with all of you!
We have chapel tomorrow as well as our Thanksgiving feast with the fourth and fifth graders. Your child took a note home on Friday about what to bring.
