We are Thankful!

Over the past few days, we have worked on creating a Padlet to show what we are thankful for. Students wrote about what they wanted to say thank you for. Have a read at what they look like here: http://padlet.com/wall/grade2thanksgiving

We used our Padlet writing and the Thank You books we read this week to do many different activities. We added to our Making Connections chart. So far we remember that you can make Text-to-Text Connections and Text-to-Self Connections. We used our Thanksgiving books to think and write about what we are thankful for and what kind of connections we can make. We will continue to talk about connections next week!










We also used our connections and the Thanksgiving stories to create our Thank-You Tree. It sits beautifully on our Prayer Table! The students really enjoyed writing many thank you messages for the tree. It sits on our Prayer Table. We hope it will remind us that we need to say thank you to God everyday.

The students worked together as a class to collect and make the tree. We used the rocks and the sticks we collected yesterday and built our tree. It showed our great team work in grade 2!

At the end of class, Mme. Paradis walked in to listen to some of our thank you messages. She really enjoyed hearing our reading and seeing the tree displayed in our room. We were happy she enjoyed our hard work!


Wishing you and your families a lovely Thanksgiving long weekend. Take time to enjoy a nice meal together! You don't need turkey to celebrate Thanksgiving!! See you back to school on Tuesday.
