Thanksgiving is here, it's really here! I have so much to be thankful for! I will be visiting family in a couple hours. It should be a wonderful feast, and best of all it will be with wonderful people! We are watching the Macy's Thanksgiving parade while we relax a bit before the drive.
This year I had the great pleasure of seeing my son's 2nd grade class present to their book buddies in fourth grade. Just another fabulous reason to volunteer in your child's classroom! The class of approximately 30 students was separated into groups of 4-5 children. Each group was provided a region of native Americans to learn about. They all researched, put information together, printed it out, cut it out, and created their own projects on pasteboard. All with no help from us parents! Each group presented their projects to the entire fourth grade class. They also sported some conduction paper head gear, beaded necklaces, and they created some adorable kachina dolls. The teamwork was fabulous, and the presentations were wonderful!
