This morning, Kristy Patterson's class prepped, cooked and ate a meal of Thanksgiving together. They had fruit, pancakes, sausages and cinnamon rolls. Students even set the table! Before they ate, they went around the room and stated what they are thankful for.

Today the high school executive student council went and spoke to the Maine Memorial student council about different kinds of roles and fundraising! The high school students are great role models and mentors for our young Spartans.

Today Ms. Hasting's and Ms. Buckley's classes, who are buddies, shared a "Friendsgiving" meal. The food served was the food served at Charlie Brown's Thanksgiving: jellybeans, toast, pretzels, and popcorn. They also made Flipgrid recordings stating what each of them is thankful for, as well as their favorite part of Thanksgiving. Then the buddies ate their snacks together and watched "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving."

"Thankful Turkey!" Homer Brink EK-2nd grade students created a "Thankful Turkey". The kids wrote their name and something they are grateful for, then they wrote the rhythm with music notes. So, “Pumpkin Pie” would be Ti-Ti Ta. Through this activity students are learning about syllables, reviewing/learning how to draw quarter notes and eighth notes as well as the corresponding Kodaly Rhythm Syllables.
