Belonging

On Thursday, 1st – 8th graders gathered with their family groups to talk about belonging. The students then worked together to write an eight-line, rhyming poem containing a few specific words: belonging, turkey, stuffing, grateful, and Saklan. The students also dressed up one of their family members as a holiday character or Thanksgiving food item, using only newspaper and tape. The families definitely showed their creativity!

All family groups gathered on the sports court to share their poems (some groups acted them out) and holiday characters/food items. Among the characters presented were: turkeys, a pilgrim, a bowl of mashed potatoes, a football player, and a chef!
