Our first graders had a lot of fun this week celebrating Thanksgiving! On Monday they wrote opinion pieces telling whether they would want to be an Indian or a Pilgrim for Thanksgiving and why. Then they got to decorate either a pilgrim's hat or Indian headdress to wear to our Thanksgiving feast. They feasted on turkey, rolls, macaroni and cheese, green beans & pumpkin pie! The students loved getting to act out the first Thanksgiving feast and learning how the Indian's helped the Pilgrims when they arrived to America.
On Tuesday morning they got some great exercise through the Turkey Trot. Then Tuesday afternoon those students who were at school everyday, without being late & returned a permission slip got to go to the Texas Hoedown! Those students had a lot of fun going on a hayride, making s'mores, drinking apple cider & petting some pretty cool animals. They absolutely loved it! Here is a video of our Texas Hoedown!
We hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your families!
