We will be celebrating being thankful this week and next in the library. All of the kids will hear Thanksgiving at the Tappletons' by Eileen Spinelli. This book is a great reminder that Thanksgiving is not really about food and fancy dinners but about family and friends. The Kinders also helped me read I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie by Alison Jackson. Ask them what the woman stuffed herself with and what happened to her at the end of the story. We had a lot of fun with this one!
Next week the older kids will be hearing 'Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving by Dav Pilkey, the author of the Captain Underpants series. This is a very short, very silly book and will be a fun book for our short week at school. 3rd graders will hear Thank You, Sarah by Laurie Halse Anderson, a true story about the woman who fought to make Thanksgiving a Federal holiday. The younger kids will hear A Turkey for Thanksgiving by Eve Bunting, This is the Turkey by Abby Levine and Gracias*Thanks by Pat Mora.
I hope you all have a restful and fun filled break. I am thankful for the opportunity to get to know each of your children. Happy Thanksgiving!
