Greetings, Friends & Families!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poem of the week<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanksgiving<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you<\/p>\n\n\n\n

for all my hands can hold—<\/p>\n\n\n\n

apples red,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and melons gold,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

yellow corn<\/p>\n\n\n\n

both ripe and sweet,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

peas and beans<\/p>\n\n\n\n

so good to eat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you<\/p>\n\n\n\n

for all my eyes can see—-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

lovely sunlight,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

field and tree,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

white cloud-boats<\/p>\n\n\n\n

in the sea-deep sky,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

soaring bird<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and butterfly,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you<\/p>\n\n\n\n

for all my ears can hear—-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

birds’ song echoing<\/p>\n\n\n\n

far and near,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

songs of little<\/p>\n\n\n\n

stream, big sea,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

cricket, bullfrog,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

duck and bee!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was happening?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since it was a very short week, the explorers in room 107 continued their learning of the letter G<\/strong>. They continued their tracing, coloring, identifying, and sounding out the letter of the week, the letter G<\/strong>. They also had the opportunity to practice their counting and comparing two groups of items for greater than and less than. For their reading comprehension, they were able to pick their answers from two choices that were presented to them. The questions my explorers answered were “what was the story about?”, “who was the character?”, and “when\/where did the story take place?”. All these questions were about the story, “Hooray for Thanksgiving”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The explorers had so much fun making and wearing their turkey hats. During the month of November, my explorers were very busy in Art class, they were able to make their favorite slice of pie and place it on a plate, a pumpkin, a turkey, and many more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, it is time to enjoy this week’s pictures:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
