Dear Parents,

I am Thankful…Homework Assignment

A cornucopia or 'horn of plenty' is usually seen with fruits, vegetables, and ears of grain overflowing. It is a symbol of abundance or having more than enough, as during the first Thanksgiving feast that the Pilgrims and Native Americans shared together. They had an overflow of crops and gave thanks for their great harvest and new found friends.

In November, as it gets closer to Thanksgiving, we also stop and give thanks. Each of us may not have an abundance of possessions, but there are many things in our lives that we can be thankful for.  Share with your child what you are thankful for.  Then ask your child to tell you what they are thankful for.  Have your child color the cornucopia as best as they can and to write their name on the blank line so that it says "(your child's name) is thankful!" Help your child to think of at least one thing they are thankful for and to place it inside the cornucopia. (They may want to draw, cut out magazine pictures, find photos, etc.)

May you enjoy this time with your child
as you work together on 'I Am Thankful!'

~ Mrs. McConnell

Mystery Alphabet Clues!

"Hi, I'm Mrs. McConnell and I'm a Pinterest addict."

"Hi Mrs. McConnell."

I'm a BIG BIG fan...I found this "Mystery Letter Bag" idea and made a similar version.  We started with the letter S this week in our Houghton Mifflin Reading program and some students were so excited to do this project, they brought it back to school the next day after I sent it home!

Here are some we received the next day....

Welcome to Kindergarten!!

Welcome to our class blog!  My name is Mrs. McConnell and this is my 7th year teaching at Kincaid Elementary in kindergarten.  Kindergarten is my favorite age to teach because students are so eager to learn new things and I love teaching them to read and write!

When I'm not at school teaching, I enjoy taking Latin dance classes and spending time with my family - especially with my one year old son!  It has been a joy spending my summers with him and watching him grow and learn every day.

I'm excited for a new school year and meet all of you!  I hope you are excited as well to be in school!  I have a lot of fun projects planned that I hope you will enjoy!  See you on the first day of school, Wednesday, Aug. 28th!
