Each fourth grader was given a store add to see if they could do a shopping list for Thanksgiving dinner under $30. They had to be careful how they spent their money. They learned very fast how quickly $30 adds up. They used their adding, subtracting, division, multiplying, estimating and calculator skills with this activity.
**SPELLING FUN WITH THE WORD "THANKSGIVING"
After the letter cards were all scrambled, we had races with each group to spell the word Thanksgiving. Each group then had to come up with words within the word Thanksgiving. They did an amazing job working together and getting their minds thinking.
**NATIVE AMERICAN HOMES!
Wow! Each year I can't believe what types of homes are created. Each home is made with such great creativity! Thank you parents for all your help and support with this project. During this social studies unit, we have learned about each of the groups that helped settle our state: the Native Americans, pioneers, explorers and mountain men and the other immigrants that came into our state. We will finish up this unit this week.
