The GRINCH visits Garland Elementary

Thanksgiving Graph

We did a fun sorting and graphing activity for Thanksgiving. Each student received a cup full of "runts" candy. They had to sort and graph how many they had of each kind of "fruit" in their Thanksgiving horn of plenty. I think they enjoyed eating the candy too.

Turkey Trot

Ready, set, GO!

Lined up to start the race.

Waiting in the cold.

Our school had the turkey trot the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. BRRRRRRRR!!!! It was FREEZING COLD! The first graders were pretty good sports and ran the turkey trot even though it was so cold. The first place winner for the boys was even a student from our class! Way to go! :)

Turkey Feather Pull

Waiting in line for prizes!!! :)

Here they go!!

Getting ready to chase Mr. L through the hall and pluck a feather.

Each student in our class who achieved the reading goal for November was able to participate in chasing a "turkey" to pull a feather for a prize. The reading goal each month is for every student to read 20 minutes a night and return their reading folders signed by a parent weekly. Thanks for all your support in reading at home!! A child that reads is a child that succeeds! What a fun activity to participate in!! :) When else is it ok to run in the halls and get a prize for it! Also, a BIG thanks to our Principal, Mr. L What a GREAT sport to be the turkey! :)
