Fuller Meadow Elementary School	Time to Give Thanks! Our Thanksgiving unit includes many multi-sensory activities that reinforce learning in every area. Cooking develops language, math, literacy and science skills. The children gives thanks for the wonderful lifestyle they enjoy by serving their parents and grandparents the food they have prepared on our feast day. This unit also teaches about other lifestyles as I share my fifteen years of vacations on the Navajo reservation. This unit is excellent for developing the "symbol to meaning" connection that is crucial to reading readiness. Sandpaintings, pictograph symbol necklaces and drums are included. Drumming patterns and simple songs develop both math and listening skills. Tommy, our class turkey only likes the "t" sound, so the children love his conversations with them!!!! Phonemic awareness is FUN!

Homework: If I have written "with help" on your child's work, this is a skill that should be reinforced at home. Review and repetition of learned concepts is very important for continued progress. Please practice the phonemic awareness activities I am sending home, Turkey talk and Tommy the Turkey are great Fun! Please use the templates I have sent home to help your child learn to write their first name.

Each child needs a large Drum shape plastic or tin container for a drum ASAP (coffee cans, large snack containers) Please continue to send in Paper towel tubes, each scarecrow takes Three! A great way to recycle them!	Classroom Activites/Long Term Projects: "Wonder" is the best teacher! "The best school, after all, for the world of childhood is not the school where the children know the most answers, but the school where the children ask the most questions" (John Coe in Hendrick, 1997) "Give Thanks for Simple Blessings"
