A dreary day


 Today was the perfect weather for a nap. At least Caden thought so!

Beautiful Brooklyn is our Top dog this week.
Letting loose in kindergarten is so much fun. We were shaking our tail feathers!


In math we ordered numbers 11-20. 






We used these skills to put together our own puzzles.

It's a turkey- SURPRISE!!!!
Casey had a lot of fun figuring that out and thank you to her mom for  cutting all the strips for us!

All you turkeys!

Someone is thinking of Christmas (Alyssa!)
39 days until Christmas- not that we are counting

We were busy learning about turkey's on Pebble Go and in our Lets Find Out reader.





A baby turkey is called a poult- Keaton
A boy turkey is a Tom- Benson
A girl turkey is a hen- Ryker
Turkeys live 3-4 years- Leah
A mom turkey can lay 10-12 eggs- Cody
A group of turkeys is called a flock- Kloey
Songs are great ways to learn. Click below to check out a November favorite!
All you turkeys!




We wrote all about turkeys on a character web.




We were working on "more than one" today and talking about how to make words plural- add s.

In Science we continued our weather studies by making windsocks and testing wind direction.

We got "carried away" with our windsocks- what a great weather tool.

Holiday

Welcome back to our very tan classmate Cooper. Thanks for sharing, seashells, treats and stories about Florida!


A holiday is a special day when important people or events are remembered.
Today we finished up our Thanksgiving story with the best part- the feast!




This is Mrs. Krupp a community outreach nurse. She came in to talk about the importance of good handwashing ( a very timely lesson with all that is going around!)

This special light showed us the germs on our hands.

After washing we checked again to see what a good job we did - many germs were gone!

Change

Today we talked about the past and present and how things change over time.
"My wrist changed when I broke it"- Ryker
"In the past they had a candle now things changed because we have electric lights to turn off and on"- Benson

" I am 50 days smarter then when I came to school"- Leah

"In the past kids walked to school and now we get to ride buses to school"- Keaton
" We are in a big school and not all in one room"- Ms. Johnson



We talked about how writing has changed over time.
" They use to use feathers and ink to write"- Caden
" Indians used symbols"- Brooklyn
We used some of those symbols to write on pretend buckskin.



















Check out this ancient cave painting. We guessed  the story they were trying to tell-
"They saw bulls"- Alyssa
" They were going to hunt buffalo"- Caden













Wherever, however, whenever- writing is always a right thing to do!





Even our pictures tell a story- Go Admirals!

We sorted pictures from the past and present- much has changed.
We write, travel, communicate, bathroom, light our houses, get water and even cook different.
Cute runs in the family! Thank you Gabby's mom for helping us do our special turkey interviews today
( interview forms coming to your home soon).

REMINDER: Pedometers and score sheet due tomorrow
