Thanksgiving Feast!!!

This morning the first graders got to enjoy the fruits of their labors and had a feast of cornbread, butter and water to wash it down. 

(Sorry it's blurry--moving objects!)

I think you can tell from their smiles that everyone enjoyed themselves!

They got a treat to watch Charlie Browns Thanksgicing while the teachers cleaned up. 

Happy Thabksgiving everyone!

Thanksgiving makings and creations!

Today the students had a fun filled afternoon getting ready for Thanksgiving at school. They got a chance to visit other classrooms and complete a different activity at each stop. First, they made bracelets with Mrs. Lyscars. Each brad represents something different about Thanksgiving. 

Then they headed to Miss Rowley's room to make cornbread muffins. I didn't catch pictures of those but I will snap a picture tomorrow when we enjoy them at a smallThanksgiving  feast!

After a break for snack, I made butter with the class. Everyone had a small container of heavy cream and we danced and shook our containers until we made butter! It was pretty magical. 

On the left is the butter, surrounded by buttermilk and on the right is what is left once the buttermilk is drained--a bit of delicious butter! That will certainly be yummy on our muffins tomorrow!

For the last stop everyone went to see Mrs. Field and made a nice fat turkey for Thanksgiving. Those are coming home today!
