Giving thanks at Edna Louise Spear Elementary School

From Syntax: In the spirit of the Thanksgiving holiday, the second-grade classrooms of Carleen Parmegiani and Darlene Wells at Edna Louise Spear Elementary School were filled with gratitude as students participated in a festive autumn-inspired event with family and friends.

Through a PowerPoint presentation and songs, the children shared what being grateful means to them. Family members then helped them to create a unique holiday craft in which they wrote on strips of orange paper what they are thankful for, attached them together to form a pumpkin shape, added leaves and vines in green paper for a finished product of a table centerpiece for their home’s celebration of Thanksgiving.
