Thank You Thanksgiving

A week of thanksgiving came and went quickly in Room Thirty-One. We celebrated by authoring our first Kindergarten text, Thank You Thanksgiving. On Friday we began the morning sharing Thanksgiving songs with Sra. Watkin's class, teaching English songs and learning Spanish songs as well. By ten in the morning our Thanksgiving Feast was simmering in the classroom crock pot. Each kindergartner had the responsibility for preparing and adding the vegetable of their choice to our class soup. Each student was astonished with the great responsibility of wielding the dull kitchen knife while Mrs. Kurkinen stood inches away. We learned to peel vegetables, wash them clean and cut them into barely manageable pieces. Our boys took it upon themselves to write "Kindergarten Kitchen Show". Each standing by narrating every step taken and filling in dead time with veggie humor.





After the kindergarten wing joined together to sing we lined the hallway to feast together. Before serving each other, everyone got the chance to create a table of thanksgiving, drawing what they were thankful for most.



We shared our meal with family and friends and had just enough time to read through our Thanksgiving book before we said our goodbyes.
