Thankful Turkey's
This week we started talking about what it means to be thankful and what we are thankful for. We started out by reading a book about being thankful. Then we brainstormed a list of things that we are all thankful for:
After we made the list we made our thankful turkeys. Students got to write and draw one thing they were thankful for on every feather of their turkeys. Students were only expected to do 3 feathers, but most chose to write more! They turned out so great! Here are some photos of students working on their turkey's and the wall of turkeys!

Career Day
On Wednesday we had the wonderful opportunity to interview different people from varying careers for our Career Day. Before we went to see the varying jobs that were present as a class we brainstormed some questions that students would like to ask them. Here is what we came up with:
In the gym there were jobs like forest rangers, stenographers, face painters, chiropractors, computer engineers and more. Students loved getting to walk around and ask them about their jobs!

| Students look at the varying tools a park ranger uses. |
 |
| A stenographer shows students how to type on her special keyboard. |
 |
| Seeing the tools on a Firetruck. |
 |
| Seeing a PGE truck lift in action! |
 |
| Seeing how this truck pours garbage in the back. |
 |
| The Forestry service and Timberlake Job Corps show students how they could put out forrest fires and some tools they would need. |
We only have one more week before conferences and Thanksgiving! I can't believe we are almost to December already! But you know what they say, time flies when you're having fun!
