This week, we have been exploring some learning about fiction and non fiction books with our Thankgiving theme. Ask our little friends about some of the differences as we read our own books. With our non-fiction reading, we wanted to share some of facts we have learned about Canadian Thanksgiving:
* Thanksgiving is about pumpkins. (Abigail)
* Thanksgiving is about having chicken. (Liam)
* Thanksgiving is telling everyone what you are thankful for. (Parker F.)
* They healed people with the food they had.(Cash)
* Why we have Thanksgiving is because this person sailed across the sea. (Gavin)
* We celebrate Thanksgiving so we can spend time with our family. (Ruth)
* We eat those food because they are nice and fresh and ready to eat. (Ruby)
* On Thanksgiving, orchards share their really yummy foods. (Tessa)
* Everything in the fields are ready to eat because they are fresh. (Zoe)
We did some art this week of a turkey after we read our stories. We were focusing on the primary colours and how we can mix them to make new colours called secondary colours with our water colours. Here are some of our finished art pieces. They have also been posted to our Seesaw Portfolios as well.
Also this week, our Shared Reading was a poem for Thanksgiving. We are becoming fluent and expressive readers.
We worked with our Learning Buddies today to complete a literacy activity with the big word Thanksgiving. We sure do love when are our big buddies come and help us with our learning activities.
We have had lots of Thanksgiving themed activities this week and more to come next week after we have celebrated this weekend!
We want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!! Enjoy your weekend!
