Friendship Feast

This week was our Family Friendship Feast.  The students were extremely helpful with preparing for this exciting event.  Below you will see some documentation panels that we made to display our work.  These panels were displayed at the feast, and are now displayed in our classroom.  If you missed them at the feast, or weren't able to make it,  take a look at our process!


In addition we created table decorations that said "Give Thanks" on both the front and the back sides. 
 Thank you to those that brought in cans of corn for our feast.  We also used some of the hand picked green onions from our garden to give the corn some flavor.  
Students made labels for the items we made in our classroom. 
 Carrot cake cookies at our feast.  (The carrots were also hand picked from our garden at school.) 
The tables were set with beautiful decorations, and the feast was ready to begin.
We welcomed friends to our feast with our beautiful signs. 
 The students from all three classes sang a couple songs to kick off our feast.
At our feast we had A LOT of food.  Thank you for bringing all the yummy food!
AND... a lot of yummy desserts.  
 
 
 Our count was about 170-180 people that joined us for our feast.  What an amazing turn out!
Thank you again for joining our feast!  Here is a picture of all the teachers that had a hand in planning and making the feast happen (alongside the children).  We were joined by our superintendent Dr. Clifford.  Our principal Ms. Hall was busy at the moment and couldn't make the shot.
We had plenty of turkey, bread, potatoes, green beans, and fruit left over so we decided to feast with all the students the following day.  Mrs. Gore moved all the furniture to one side of her room and all three classes squeezed in so we could feast together.  ALL the children had a great time!

Thank you again for joining us at our feast.  Also, thank you for sending in apples and cans of corn to help us prepare food for our feast.  We hope you enjoyed our feast as much as we did.  Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoy your few days off.  
Take care,
Mrs. Julie Atkin
