With the year we have been having, I decided to put up a Thankful Tree in my classroom. Each of my students had the opportunity to write down what they were Thankful for and put it on the tree as the ornaments. I believe that even with all the ups and downs this year has brought, we need to be Thankful for everything we have now. A couple of the messages are “I am thankful for the fact that teachers are still trying to make school fun.” “I am thankful for the life I get to live, and all the great people in it.” “I am thankful for the veterans and the people currently serving in the military.” Don’t forget to be Thankful this holiday season!

4th graders have been busy this past month learning about Wisconsin’s land regions in social studies class. Students made their own homemade clay, shaped it into the shape of Wisconsin and then once the clay dried, students drew the 5 land regions and painted them! To finish off their clay maps, students then made their legend/key to show what color was each land region and added a compass. They did a great job and had fun learning in a hands-on way even at home!!!
You can make the clay at home as well. Here is the recipe.
-1 cup salt
-1 cup flour
-1/2 cup water
-2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
Mix together well. The clay should have a consistency of play-dough (you may need to add additional flour).
Enjoy :)
