Thanksgiving and Graphing

Mrs. McMahon's class learned how to appropriately form the lowercase letter a.  We also began talking about Thanksgiving and read Thanksgiving Day by Gail Gibbons. We discussed how many people make lists to remember things and decided to make a list ourselves of words that remind us of Thanksgiving.  During this interactive writing activity, the girls sounded out different words on their own, then returned to their seats to make their own Thanksgiving lists.

Mrs. Martin's class began graphing during their math period.  The girls learned how to take data and use that information to form a graph. Each child had an opportunity to graph 3 leaves on the class graph--be sure to ask your daughter which colors she had.
Mrs. McMahon's class took a nature walk through the woods, taking time to observe the different colors we see in November.  While on our walk, the girls collected 6 leaves. Then we came back to our classroom and created our own fall art from our leaves.

Finally, we had a parent reader.  What a busy Wednesday!
