Our First 100 Chart!

Today website our very first 100 Chart mystery picture!  The kids were so excited!!!!  

Mayflower Voyage

Today we talked about the Pilgrims and what they brought over on the Mayflower.  They were only allowed to carry what could fit in their trunk. We talked about needs versus wants as we discussed what we would want to take on the Mayflower. 

Then we made our own Mayflower. 

Next we talked about what the pilgrims had to eat in their long voyage.  The two main things they had to eat were hardtack and salthorse. So I let them try it to see if they would have survived in the Mayflower. 

Before you have think "What on earth did Mrs. Elkins make my baby eat?" Don't panic. It was just a roll and beef jerky (but I never told them that) 😊

Veteran's Day

What is a veteran?  

We looked at a PowerPoint I made of the different branches of the military and of how the military looked long ago and how it looks today. 

Then we answered the question and wrote it in our chart. 

Then we made a military person and wrote what we wanted to thank them for. 

Thank you for keeping me safe.

Thank you for fighting the bad guys. 

Thank you for fighting for our country. 

Thank you for protecting us. M

Thankful

Today we talked about being thankful.  We read The Most Thankful Thing and then charted what we are thankful for. 

We wrote what we are thankful for on feathers and displayed them in the hall to make a giant Kindergarten turkey! 

We also illustrated in our poetry journals things we are thankful for.
