Monday
We started by doing our ‘e’ page of our Big and Little
book. We greeted classmates, said the pledge and
our class promise and did calendar. We sang our ‘Days
of the Week’ song and ‘Macarena Months’. We
subitized numbers to 6 in random placements, read our
popcorn words, did our ABC chart and ‘Action
Alphabet’. We learned that great thinkers
communicate ideas with confidence and reviewed
the other habits of thinkers. We read Clifford’s Family
by Norman Bridwell. In small groups, we researched,
planned and made charts to share information about
each author we’ve studied so far this year (Kevin
Henkes, Mo Willems and Norman Bridwell). We read
our poem of the week, ‘The Turkey’ and sequenced it
line by line. We read Happy Thanksgiving. We had
recess. Collaborating with a group, we sequenced
cards with the days of the week, the months of the
year and numbers 1-20. The morning class had library.
Wednesday
Tuesday
We started by doing a Thanksgiving dot-to-dot.
We then greeted classmates, said the pledge and
our class promise and did calendar. We did our
ABC chart and ‘Action Alphabet’. We counted to
100 by ones and read our popcorn words. We
reviewed the six habits of thinkers. The PM class
had library. The AM class did fitness. We read
Clifford’s Thanksgiving Visit by Norman Bridwell.
We read, highlighted the popcorn words in and
illustrated our poem of the week. We did shared
reading and read Thanksgiving Day. We graphed
our favorite autumn activity on a floor graph. We
had recess. We read another riddle in Clifford’s
Riddles. We sequenced Clifford pictures from
‘Littlest to Biggest’.

Your child is bringing home a Thanksgiving Story homework assignment.
After the big day, have your child reflect upon the day using their five senses
and record on the appropriate page, what they saw, heard, smelled, tasted
and touched (not felt- i.e. happy, but physically touched). Have them start by
drawing the picture and then, using a pencil (so they can erase if needed) ‘try
their best’ to spell what they drew. Please don’t spell the words for them, let
them ‘use their arm’ (ask them what that means) to get down the sounds as
best they can. After they finish, if you would like, you can scribe/translate
underneath but please don’t spell for them or let them erase and change it to
what you wrote.
