Happy Thanksgiving from Room 3

Happy Thanksgiving
 Miss Hemingway

New Zealand doesn't celebrate Thanksgiving 

BUT.....   we did!

Here's a taste of our Thanksgiving week. 
(a little early we know but we wanted to 
celebrate it with Miss Hemingway before she went home)

 Miss Hemingway wanted to know how much we already knew about Thanksgiving.


Here's our KWL

Albuquerque Turkey

Our Poem of the week

Albuquerque is a turkey

And he's feathered and he's fine

And he wobbles and he gobbles

and he's absolutely mine.

He's the best pet that you can get.....

Better than a dog or a cat.

He's my Albuquerque turkey

And I'm awfully proud of that.

He once told me, very frankly

he preferred to be my pet,

not the main course at my dinner,

and I told him not to fret.

And my Albuquerque turkey

is so happy in his bed, 
'Cause for our Thanksgiving dinner.....
We had egg foo yong instead!
