I Used to be a Turkey.....

After reading the book Turkey Trouble by Wendi Silvano, students had the chance to get together with Mrs. McMahon's students and "disguise" turkeys of their own.  They had so much fun creating their turkeys together!  Click the link below to see the turkeys in disguise!!!

The Pilgrim's Journey on the Mayflower

Students studied the Pilgrims and their journey on the Mayflower.  They wrote an informational writing about their journey and created their own Mayflower ships.  We put together a video where students shared something they learned during this project!  Click the link below to watch!

Reality or Fantasy??? A Preview to Realistic Fiction!

Today we discussed and learned the difference between reality and fantasy.  Students brainstormed and wrote or drew a picture of an example for each. Students shared their examples with their peers and did a wonderful job!  We had fun sharing silly examples of "fantasy."  Ask your child examples of reality and fantasy at home! :)
