We are thankful for so much... including pie!

 We read many Thanksgiving books -- and focused on being thankful for important things. We talked about WHY we are thankful for things. 

 We talked about Thanksgiving and why it might be a little different this year (although, at age 3 or 4, the children don't really remember much about last Thanksgiving). We focused on family and talked about family traditions. We will talk about the food we eat at Thanksgiving more next week -- once we have more context for it (and for the students who don't celebrate Thanksgiving, we will talk about favourite family meals). We hope that you have a relaxing  weekend with family and food -- even if we are only able to talk to some of our family on the phone, or through Facetime, Skype or Zoom, we will still be together.

We found out that we ALL like pie! Some of us like chocolate pie best (10 students) (and I didn't even know that Chocolate pie was a thing). Some of us like Strawberry pie (2 students). some like blueberry pie (2 students). Some like pumpkin pie best (2 students) and 1 student liked grape pie, one liked apple, one liked lime and one liked lemon. Ms. Brown likes Cherry Pie the best, and Ms. Emerson likes Apple Pie. So we "baked" our favourite pies! And also graphed our favourites, and talked about the graph. 

 Look at these pies! YUM!
