What are we thankful for?

The children created lists of things that they were thankful for in Wordle and made colorful word clouds. These word clouds were then placed on mats that were woven out of construction paper. The technology involved in the project was a snap. The most difficult task was cutting the strips of paper to weave! The children read lots of Thanksgiving poems together, some with real voice and tone . . . an impromptu poetry jam. Everyone pitched in to rearrange the tables so that we could all sit together at one giant table for our Thanksgiving Feast. After every ingredient was mixed in the largest pot we could find Mrs. Barfield carved our pineapple turkey. We all enjoyed a bountiful bowl of gorp snack mix and fresh pineapple. We certainly do have a lot to be thankful for!
