Pumpkin Pie is the number one Thanksgiving pie and Ms. Alonge's Business of Fashion students "made" pumpkin pies of their own. Learning how to measure, cut, sew, and decorate their own little slice of this traditional Thanksgiving fare that can be worn or carried as an accessory. Happy Thanksgiving from the BOF class!

One of our major interdisciplinary units in fourth grade focuses on Native American groups and the environment. This unit includes reading "The Sign of the Beaver" by Elizabeth George Speare, an in depth study of the diverse and cultural native tribes that inhabited what would become New York State, discussion on the Native's use of natural resources, a presentation by a Native story teller from the Turtle Clan, a longhouse project, cornhusk doll crafting with family members who are invited in to our classrooms, cooking native dishes like succotash, and so much more. Here are a few photos from some of these culturally rich activities. See ALL of our longhouses here: https://fb.watch/g_hDYDBH-t/

Our elementary had a ball at our STAR Program, celebrating the 50s with 5th grade! Great job class of 2030! A shout-out to Union Relief for sponsoring this month's books! Thank you to Kathy Archer for sharing the history of the building where Full Strength Coffee is located! We learned that there have been all sorts of businesses there from a theater, to a clothing store, to a pharmacy, to a kindergarten, even to a candy shop! Be sure to ask your child to show you their "Twist" dance moves! It's was a great day to be a reader!

We are gearing up for Thanksgiving in the elementary. Our second graders read "Silly Tilly's Thanksgiving Dinner" by Lillian Hoban with Mrs. Holt in the library. Ms. Meyer's class is pictured here in their "foggy glasses" like Tilly has in the story. Students wrote what they could "spy" and what they are thankful for on the lenses. These students would encourage you to read this fun book!

You can catch our High School Bowl team in action here: https://wjtn.com/podcasts/high-school-bowl Great job to our team!
