Celebrating Thanksgiving!

 THANKSGIVING 2020

Hi everybody! Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays to celebrate in the United States, so I was super excited to talk about it with the students. 

Thanksgiving is an American holiday celebrated the fourth Thursday of November, where we host a large dinner with family. Typical food we eat is turkey, macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, stuffing, roasted vegetables, and gravy! 

We also go around the dinner table and say what we are thankful for. This year, we did activities where students made/colored a turkey and wrote what they are thankful for. Some photos attached!

 

Halloween 2020!

It's no surprise that this year things have been a little different. Halloween included! 

Below you'll find photos from the many ways students celebrated Halloween at school this year.

We played fun guessing games in class, did different arts and crafts, and dressed up.

1A Primary and 6th of Primary were home on Halloween, but they still dressed up during their online lessons.

When 6th of Primary returned to school, they dressed up and did a Halloween dance for the rest of the school.
