Pilgrims and Native Americans

Thanksgiving is one of the most fun learning units that we do all year!
Everyone's most favorite activities are learning about the chores that the pilgrim children and Native American children did during the first Thanksgiving.

The girls from both classes practiced sewing, rolling out biscuits and gardening. The boys were in Mrs. Moorer's class building houses and fishing!











Then we read the Legend of the Indian Paintbrush and painted our paper teepees. I didn't get to grab a picture of that! Here we are "weaving" dream catchers and later we decorated them with Native American symbols.






Here are some shots of your cuties working!



These boys wanted to show off the roots they found!!


We read a series of books that included the book The Great Turkey Race so we did one of our own for fun and to talk about how air can push an object. 




And caterpillars are so intriguing! 


In math, we have been analyzing and describing 2-D and 3-D shapes. Here we are discussing the attributes of 3-D shapes using food! It was a hit:)
