This morning, Kristy Patterson's class prepped, cooked and ate a meal of Thanksgiving together. They had fruit, pancakes, sausages and cinnamon rolls. Students even set the table! Before they ate, they went around the room and stated what they are thankful for.

Today Ms. Hasting's and Ms. Buckley's classes, who are buddies, shared a "Friendsgiving" meal. The food served was the food served at Charlie Brown's Thanksgiving: jellybeans, toast, pretzels, and popcorn. They also made Flipgrid recordings stating what each of them is thankful for, as well as their favorite part of Thanksgiving. Then the buddies ate their snacks together and watched "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving."
"Thankful Turkey!" Homer Brink EK-2nd grade students created a "Thankful Turkey". The kids wrote their name and something they are grateful for, then they wrote the rhythm with music notes. So, “Pumpkin Pie” would be Ti-Ti Ta. Through this activity students are learning about syllables, reviewing/learning how to draw quarter notes and eighth notes as well as the corresponding Kodaly Rhythm Syllables.
