Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi all! I wanted to share with you all how our project has been going the last few weeks.

My children are so excited every time we get a postcard in the mail. During Circle Time we read and discuss the postcard and then 1 student is chosen to be the one to find it on our map.

Once it is found, we color in that state on our poster.

Here is what our map looks like as of Friday 11/18. We made our state rainbow colored so we could learn what it looks like.

Later, I take the postcard and put it on the wall around our quilt map connecting it to the state it came from.

I hope this finds you doing well and ready to celebrate a wonderful Thanksgiving. Many of your students might be traveling to other states this holiday season. This would be a good time to send out your postcards if you haven't done so already.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello! Today we received our second postcard in the mail from Skyline Elementary School in Stillwater, Oklahoma. :) :) :) We learned that their state flower is the Indian Blanket and their state rock is the Rose Rock. We also found it interesting that the first Sonic Drive -In was in your hometown. We dont have Sonics where we live. We do see the yummy commericals on the televsion though. Happy Monday everybody!

Hello! Today we were so excited to have received our very first postcard in the mail all the way from Montana, Winans School. :) :) :) We were surpised to hear that they already had their first snow storm of the season already. Thank you so much for our first postcard. We are looking forward to receiving many more. :) :) :) Have a great rest of your day everybody!
