Harvest Festival = HUGE HIT!

What a WONDERFUL day we had in first grade! Today was yet another reminder of how much I have to be thankful for. Getting to work with this bunch of kids is such a blessing. Our harvest festival was fabulous today. I can't thank all of you for helping to make it so successful and smooth! So many parents and grandparents donated their time to help us with our activities, as well as provide LOTS of yummy snacks! Be sure to ask your first grader what their favorite activity was from today's festival. There were so many to choose from! I am sure you have seen your child's bag-o-goodies they brought home. Don't forget to help them water their bean and pumpkin plants. We have been working on this experiment for several weeks. It would be so fun for them if their plants grew! Please take note that when your child waters their plants, the excess water WILL leak out the bottom! Be sure to put them on a plate or you will have a big mess! :) (I learned this from experience!) Have your child tell you about our Southwest Native American pinch pots. Hopefully your child's got home in one piece. We have been busy, busy, busy as you can see. But, we are FULL of knowledge. While you are waiting for your turkey to cook this year, be sure to have your first grader retell the story of the first Thanksgiving using the bracelet they made today. I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family. Take an extra moment to love on your amazing first grader. There is so much to be thankful for! Be sure to check the blog over break...I am going to upload some new pictures (finally!). Stay healthy and happy.
