Have you ever wondered how Thanksgiving got started? I know that you know the story of the first Thanksgiving between the Pilgrims and the Indians, however, there is more to it than that! Did you know that for a while, there were several Thanksgiving days in the year! Click on the DOGO site and watch the video on the history of Thanksgiving. Then write a blog post telling what you are thankful for this Thanksgiving! Be sure to find some turkey or fun Thanksgiving clipart to embellish your post!

Hi! My name is Chloe! This week we made turkeys by coloring a picture of a turkey. I like reading. My favorite subject is art, because we get to paint. I can’t wait for the snow! In February, I am going on a cruise!! Thanksgiving is coming soon. Don’t forget to pick out a turkey!

Hi Parents and Students!!
Happy Thanksgiving!! As a little breather over the next 2 weeks, we will not have spelling words to study for! You will also notice that our homework packet is a little lighter for this week, and NO homework for next week!! Woot-Woot!!
We will be celebrating “Diversity Day” on next week Tuesday (Nov. 26)! This is a day where we give thanks for our ancestors and where our families came from! You will see an explanation attached to the homework packet this week. Families, we are asking that if you have any interesting pictures, foods, clothing, or etc. to send in that shows some of your family history, we would greatly appreciate it! This is an opportunity to let your student shine, as they will be presenting in front of the class your history, family traditions, and etc.! If you could please sent these things in by Monday, Nov. 25th, we promise we will take good care of everything and get them back to you by the end of Tuesday. Food can be sent in the morning of.

Have You Gotten A Flu Shot? Mrs. Q’s Update!
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
Just a quick note! If you haven’t gotten a flu shot, you will definitely want to get one! I just got over a week’s worth of flu and boy was I miserable! I have added complications when I get a cold because I have asthma. This can wreak havoc on my ability to breathe. I came back to school on Thursday after being out for two days trying to breathe. I thought I was on the mend. Then Friday morning I got up running a fever and aching everywhere. I could not even hold my head up. That took two days to get through, but now I am definitely on the mend! And I am so happy to be feeling good! So get that flu shot if you are like me and don’t have patience for getting sick! I missed the kids terribly!!!!
Two days of school is all we have this week before Turkey Day! Math Games will be played on Tuesday, Nov. 23 from 1:05 until 2:00. Thank you to the parents who volunteered to come in and help out! I will look forward to seeing you around 1:05 p.m. on Tuesday.
Have a fabulous Thanksgiving and try not to eat to much! Love, Mrs. Q 🙂
