Charlie Brown Thanksgiving
No holiday would be a holiday without Charlie Brown! So of course, we had to have a Charlie Brown a thanksgiving the day we left for thanksgiving Break!
Long legged turkeys
We talked about what it must be like to be a turkey! The kids had to come up with food items that they would rather have people eat other then turkey on thanksgiving! After we discussed this and write about it, we made long legged turkeys!!
Readers Theater
We did readers theater. We divided the class into 3 groups and each group had a fairy tale to act out, the first group had
The Three Little Pigs!
They stood in front of the class and they acted out their story. The kids on the carpet were their audience. We reviewed audience etiquette before we began! Then after they heard the story, they had to retell it to their friends!!
How to Catch a Monster
The How To Catch Series is an awesome series for STEM.
Then they had to design their trap to catch their monster! Each child was given a monster to create their trap for. Each monster was a different size. They had to draw their trap first.
Then they created their trap! They tested and modified them until they were able to trap and keep their monster trapped!
