Rain, Rain.....you can stay!

Loving the rain this weekend! I could enjoy another day or so.But because I love my students I will not wish another rainy day schedule on them! Little critters went stir crazy on Friday. I can't blame them. In the end we just drew pictures and relaxed.
  This week will likely be just as relaxing.  We will work on math and writing as well as reading. There are no official spelling words. But Mrs. Nye has some surprise words to have fun with.
  Tuesday, we have been invited down to Mrs. Dupray's third grade classroom for a play. We are excited about that! We have been learning about dramas and how they are written. We will be viewing two videos this week. Monday, a Charlie Brown's Mayflower video about the history of the Pilgrims and their relationship with the Native Americans the first year in America. Tuesday afternoon we will watch A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving wherein Snoopy creates a feast of his own. We will spend some time crafting a turkey of our own this week and writing about how to cook a turkey.
   There will be no classroom feast or party. However, our lunch staff is making us all a wonderful feast on Tuesday and I will be joining the kids in the cafeteria.
    I hope you have a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. We are all indeed very blessed to be living in the land we do.
