Thanksgiving Kids

Today we talked about Thanksgiving. We played a Catagories Game about Thankgiving. We read a play and did some persuasive writing. Then we reasearched European Harvest Festivals, made Thanksgiving cards, and ate popcorn. So Happy Thankgiving!

A Day at Stonehenge

Today we have "visited" Stonehenge. We have learned all about it. We have also made our own pourquoi tales. We even constructed our own Stonehenge! We've all had a great time.

England American Style

Today was awesome! We read A Midsummer Night's Dream. We also got to research and make English porcelain. During stations some read, some researched, and some finished our community project (see other blogs). At the end of the day we all sat at the table, drank "High Tea", and discussed what we learned. Altogether it was another good day for Mrs. Grffith's students!

England Frenzy

Today we talked about England. We got to make family crests like what the knights wore. We got to read "A Midsummer Night's Dream"by William Shakespeare. The story was wonderful,and it was very imaginative! We got to taste European Shortbread Cookies, and they were delicious! Today was definitely an "English Frenzy"!
