This week, we learned about Tisquantum and the history of the first Thanksgiving by reading a Scholastic News article, watching several short Scholastic videos, and playing a trivia game. While reading the article with a partner, students practiced the “stop, cover, think, tell” strategy to help us share our thinking and deepen our understanding about what we read. Through our discussions, we learned about what life was like for members of the Wampanoag tribe and for Pilgrims in the 1620s. We also compared how life in the past was similar and different from today.
On Monday afternoon, students participated in an All-School Celebration since we filled up our school PBIS “tree”. Celebration choices included sledding, art time, Thanksgiving crafts, a Wild Kratts video, rubber band bracelet making, and forest choice time. Nice work, team!
Best wishes for a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! I am very thankful to work in this supportive community with such a wonderful class!
