Happy Thanksgiving Week! I am hoping you are as thankful as I am. My life is so blessed and I have so much to be thankful for. I have two amazing children, a husband that treats me like a princess, a career that I absolutely love, and friends that are beyond words. Life is good. It seems that whenever I feel myself doubting if life is good, all I have to do is take an hour and do some people watching in a busy place. I then realize just how very blessed I am.
We will take some time this week and discover some secrets of the holiday Thanksgiving. We will look into some presidents that have pardoned some turkeys and we will look further into why one president wanted to make the turkey the national bird instead of the Bald Eagle. Say what!!! We will also take a look at some misconceptions about the first Thanksgiving between some colonists and Native Americans. It is not at all about the Pilgrims and feathered Indians. So, what really happened back then?
There will be no spelling this week.
We have school all day Monday and a half day on Tuesday. Pick up on Tuesday is noon.
We will have pumpkin pie for snack on Tuesday. My treat!
I am hoping that Mr. Noah L. is having a wonderful birthday weekend. We sure enjoyed his yummy donuts on Friday! Happy Birthday Buddy!
I am hoping that Lauren is back in class this week and feeling better. We have missed her!
I am sending well wishes to all those that are traveling for the holiday. Be safe and we will see you the next Monday.
A very special thank you for Avery's family for the fun treat left on my desk after dismissal on Friday. You filled my bucket and made me smile. :0)
I am loving all the texts and emails with the license plate pictures. As they come in, I add them to our class map and update the blog list. As you can see, we only have a few left. I record them first come first pay. Please check the list before you send some so we don't have duplicates. Thanks and keep them coming! Awesome project for all!
Don't forget to send in some holiday decoration pictures to share on the blog. Baking cookies, trimming the tree, wrapping presents, or making a snowman. Whatever, let's share them. Fun!
I leave you with the knowledge that your kiddos will be eating some homemade cupcakes made by our very own Mrs. Gleason thanks to the mighty GRIZ winning the game on Saturday. I wish it would have been a better game. I don't really like games that are like that. I felt horrible for the QB on the Cats team. I wanted to drive over there and do a Fly Time meeting with him during half time about BELIEVING!!! Talk about a no good, very bad day! urg. Nonetheless, we will enjoy our reward, after all a bet is a bet. :0)
Have a wonderful week. I will blog Monday, and then not until the following Sunday.
Mrs. Grewell
