Post #3

Last week was a short 3 day week before Thanksgiving. I was able to read three Thanksgiving books to my students. One was "My Thanksgiving," which I read during reading workshops. This book talked about who celebrated the first Thanksgiving and how we are thankful. I talked with students about somethings that they could do to help people who maybe don't have food on Thanksgiving and we talked about the food drive and examples of food items they could bring in. The book "The Night Before Thanksgiving" I read during morning meeting. In my message I asked students some preparations they do to get ready and help out for Thanksgiving. The third book I read last week was "Thanksgiving at the Tappleton's" which was about a family preparing for Thanksgiving, but it didn't quite go as smoothly as they planned. This was really fun because I took half the class to the library;  we read the book and then made up a skit. Kari had the other half and did the same. Then the students did their skit in front of the other group. Students had a lot of fun with this and it was really cool to see their expressions when they really got into it. I can't wait until friday to hear about everyones experiences!
