Happy Thanksgiving

       Happy Thanksgiving from the UK! Today in school we are devoting the entire day to teaching our year five students about Thanksgiving. In P.E., I am teaching the students how to play "American Football." They are going to learn how to pass and hike the ball. We are also going to play turkey tag! In English, we are going to write a page on what we are thankful for. The students here will also be making paper turkeys and having a proper Thanksgiving feast. All of the foods that were at the first Thanksgiving will be there including Oreos and strawberry biscuits.
   Yesterday I showed students a Powerpoint on Thanksgiving culture. Their favorite part was the clip that I showed them of The Simpsons' Thanksgiving episode.
     What is everyone doing for Thanksgiving? I miss it over here but will be skyping my family at around 10 p.m. tonight! Have a great Turkey Day and a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving weekend! Enjoy the time off!

Happy Thanksgiving from some of my students in England!


                                           In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I taught them how to play some "American football." I might need to recruit some of my students, they are looking better than some of our quarterbacks.

  6. Hey Jess....
    I noticed the kiddies are playing in their bare feet.I totally remember the bare feet thing! When I was there in 1991 the kids took off their shoes for recess and ran around in bare feet! Ask them why they do this. Also the school where I taught had swimming class every day. Do they swim at your school?
