Thanksgiving around the World

Everday this week our class will visit another country and learn about how they give thanks.  On Monday we visited Ghana, Africa and learned about the Homowo Festival.  We made rainsticks which are used in music and dancing.  We also tried a bite of candied yams.  

Pajama Day

Thanks to all of the students who brought money to school.  Many of the students celebrated by wearing their pajamas to school on Thursday.

Pumpkin Carving

This week the students brought pumpkins to school and we carved them together in class.  They had a blast.  Some were hesitant about reaching into the pumpkin to grab the seeds.  All of the students ended up having a good time and the pumpkins turned out great.  Thanks to all of the parents who volunteered and helped students carve pumpkins.
