Over the last week, Miss Hilling's Kindergarten class had fun with Thanksgiving activities. We made a thankfulness tree by writing things we are thankful for on paper leaves. The students also wrote "I am thankful for..." sentences and drew pictures to go with them. They enjoyed making making handprint turkeys. After reading, "Turkey Trouble", the students colored pictures of turkeys in disguise. And after reading, "Cranberry Thanksgiving", we made and ate cranberry bread together.
Mrs. Lackey's class watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. They made their favorite character balloons and had a parade of their own. They also created Turkey doughnuts.
