Mrs. Cooksey's 1st graders' annual pancake breakfast was this morning! They read the story "Pancakes for Breakfast" yesterday. On day 1 they were introduced to new vocabulary words that they needed to use while reading the book that didn’t have words! They also worked on identifying the character's feelings throughout the story. On day 2, they worked on retelling the story, and identified all the problems and solutions. Then, they ended the morning with pancakes!

Mrs. Ray's 3rd grade class designed turkeys and then wrote adjectives to describe them. They also made thankful "pies" where they wrote what they were thankful for on each slice of pie and then illustrated them. What are you doing to get ready for the Holiday?
