We know that most people want a turkey for Thanksgiving Dinner. We tried to help the turkeys by disguising them so no one would be able to find them for Thanksgiving. Thank you to our families for helping with our family homework. We hope you enjoy our turkeys. We shared them with our new kindergarten friends in Sandusky, Ohio by having a video chat with them. They did the same project. We enjoyed seeing their turkeys. They had some that we very similar to ours.

We have blogging mentors from the University of Regina in Saskatchewan, Canada. They connect to our classroom by commenting on this blog. We are thrilled to have made such good friends through blogging. We fondly refer to them as our college friends from Canada.
On Friday, we met and chatted Amy and Janine, two of our U of Regina friends through a video skype call. It is like using the computer to make a phone call and we can see each other while talking. We had a little bit of trouble with our video connection and then Amy and Janine had some trouble. We went outside to play while waiting for them to get back in touch with us. Amy and Janine quickly solved the problem and we chatted for a bit before we had to go home. We love our blogging friends and hope we connect with other friends real soon.

A few weeks ago, we began to wonder about spiders. We wondered about what they ate, about where they lived and about the different kinds of spiders. we read books and beagn to learn about spiders. We researched about different kinds and then wrote about what we learned. We presented our information to the class so we could teach each other about spiders. We wanted to share the information with you.

Jeff Peneston is a teacher from NY who is going to Antarctica. He invited classrooms from around the country to make a flag that he can take with him aboard the icebreaker ship named Oden. Jeff will work with scientists in a program called PolarTREC. Jeff will fly the flags from everyone on the ship and take pictures for us to see. We will check on Jeff during his trip by reading his on line journal and looking at the pictures he takes. He will begin his trip on November 25. We are reading the journal of another PolarTREC teacher. She is Robin Ellwood and she is a teacher in Rye NH. She is part of a SCUBA diving crew working under the lake ice to collect information about the conditions on the bottom of the lake. We enjoy the pictures in Ms. Ellwood's on line journal.
