Thanksgiving at WHE

We have been working on many activities to celebrate Thanksgiving at WHE. We have learned about a day in the life of Native American boys and girls and have seen life through the eyes of both Mayflower travelers and Pilgrim explorers. We tried a Mayflower meal of dried meat and dried fruit. Most second graders agreed that they like "their own" food better.

Unit Two of our reading series concluded this week. It was a review and testing week as we looked at our recent writitng strategies and covered all of our spelling words. We look forward to our next unit and discovering new reading treasures.


We are really moving forward in our math skills. We have been looking at units of measurement. We've measured everything in our room and estimated everything from weather measurement to weight measurement. Math seems to be an area the class really excels in. Our series is very hands on and the class has the opportunity to relate to concepts up close.

Parent/Teacher conferences are next Monday and Tuesday. We look forward to showing off our work and meeting with everyone.
