Hopefully you have heard by now that we had our annual Kindergarten Feast last week before the break! Well, not "just" a feast. A feast with little Pilgrims and Native Americans and LOTS of food! What could be better in a 5 year old's life than to end a unit on the First Thanksgiving with friends,food and fun centerst!!
Thanks to all the wonderful parent support and all of the items that were donated to make our feast a success! We spent the first part of the day practicing our letters, the sounds each letter makes and reading together. Then we kicked off the celebration by combining our classes for the big Feast. We played the part of the Pilgrims this year and I must say that we were the best Pilgrims ever!
After our bellies were full with WAY to much food, we spent the afternoon doing "special" centers like making a sweet little turkey made out of our own little hands, (Enjoy them! They will only stay that small for a little while!) we made bracelets with beads to help us remember the first Thanksgiving story, (Just ask us, we would be more than glad to share!) we played some addition turkey bingo,(Shhh, we know it is First grade math but noone knows! Oh and Yes, Mrs. Ryan is so proud of us!) and we even made a turkey out of an apple to take home for a centerpiece. We were busy!!! A great way to end the week and get ready for our own family feasts at home!

I hope you enjoyed your time with your child over the Thanksgiving Break! I sure enjoy my time with your child!! Once again, I am thankful for all of you! You and your child make my job look easy and are such a special part of my life! Thank you!! Happy Thanksgiving!!!
