The hallways of Sutton have turned into a land of turkeys! From kindergarten to the 4th grade rooms, there are the neatest art and writing projects being displayed. It makes the long trip to the workroom more pleasant :)
Our kinder cuties have learned so much about Thanksgiving this week. They know tons of facts about turkeys (what they look like, what they eat, etc.) and loved reading stories about the pilgrims and Native Americans. We talked about the differences between fiction and nonfiction a lot this week because our stories varied each day! What smart little cookies we have!
If you've been in the school in the past week, you've seen Turkey Land in full force, but for those who haven't had the opportunity to see the work in person we are so excited to show you your child's masterpieces!

| This is Miss DeWitt's and Mrs. Bratcher's kiddos all dressed up for the Thanksgiving lunch on Wednesday! The students in all kindergarten classrooms decorated their headbands and vests with Native American symbols. We were a hit to say the least! |
 |
| Mrs. Bratcher's class read the story "Run, Turkey, Run!" and completed a writing and art project to go along with it. The students came up with different ways to catch a turkey (the responses are HILARIOUS!). They also colored coffee filters and added water to them to create these beautiful tye-dye feather look. |
 |
| Miss DeWitt's class read a story about the life of a pilgrim girl and boy. They learned that the pilgrim children worked very hard to stay alive and to keep their village going. We connected the stories to our own life and wrote down chores they have to do at their home. The students discussed how thankful they were for electricity, sturdy homes, grocery stores and cars :) |
 |
| Miss DeWitt's group also made the coffee filter art project like Mrs. Bratcher's class! Above the art are the anchor charts made during whole group. The students explained what they had learned to the teacher about turkeys. They also explained their own Thanksgiving Day tradition! |
Every student took home a feather. They decorated the feather however they wanted and brought it back to school. This is a very special project because no class turkey is the same! Each class is different just like each turkey! We LOOOOVE how they turned out!!

It was a crazy, busy week to say the least! But what a wonderful time of the year. All four of us are SO thankful to have each and every one of these students in our classroom. They mean the world to us and have made us better people. We hope everyone has a blessed and safe Thanksgiving Break!! It's hard to believe the Christmas season is right around the corner....
