This is one of my favorite days of the year. I think the kids would definitely agree. Kids came to school in pajamas with stuffed animals, favorite books and cozy blankets, ready to settle in for a long day of reading. We started the day at our morning meeting practicing how to introduce someone by introducing our beloved stuffed animals to the class.
We learned how to read a recipe and we all helped out by adding something to our crock pot of hot chocolate that simmered in the room for most of the day. 
We had lots of independent reading time.
We also had two surprise guest readers come to our class.
We got to drink some of that warm hot chocolate right after a cold recess outside and raised our glasses in a toast to friendship.
We made Thanksgiving cards for our families and talked about all the things our hearts are grateful for.
We finally met our 4th grade reading reading buddies. Each first grader was partnered up with a fourth grade friend to read to. They started out interviewing each other and then chose books to read together.
As you can see, lots of fun reading today!! Happy Thanksgiving to all.
