Thanksgiving at School!

Erin and I spent days photocopying leaves for our students to hang on their Thanksgiving tree. David, the bilingual coordinator, drew and cut out two floor-to-ceiling trees for us to use. Each student got a leaf (we had a bunch of different colors and shapes) and they had to write (in English) what they were thankful for. The second through sixth graders wrote about their families, houses, teachers, teddy bears, etc. The first graders (who don’t know how to write) drew pictures instead. The trees looked really good in the hallway and the principals were very pleased with the work.



The kids colored pictures of the different vocabulary words.
