Monday: On Monday we met in the library and had breakfast with the teacher cadets from Hillcrest and Patti Tate, South Carolina teacher of the year! We did an activity with construction paper and tissue paper; "making miracles." We also watched a presentation Patti Tate gave about elephants, the book "Perfect Square," and her philosophy on teaching.
Tuesday: On Tuesday we were supposed to watch a video but couldn't find it. But it's no biggie Mrs.Turner! :) So, instead we worked on our pop-up thanksgiving letter for our pen pals. As we worked on them we talked a little bit about Ron Clark. We saw a video about some of the kids talking, rapping, and dancing about politics. They probably know more than me! They were impressive and so cute.
Wednesday: On Wednesday we got the Ron Clark Story movie and started watching it.
Thursday: On Thursday some of us brought popcorn and other snacks and finish the movie. It was such a great movie!
Friday: On Friday we went to Mauldin Elementary School and visited with our froggy friends! We gave them the thanksgiving pop-up letters we made and received a turkey and a letter from them that they made. We had all picked out a book the week before that we wanted to share, so we brought them and read them with our little friend. Also, we had a big paper that we got to color together for thanksgiving and on the back helped our buddy write down what he or she is thankful for. Even though none of us wanted to, after that we said good-bye and came back to school.
