What is this mystery vegetable?   
 Hint:  The kids in our class pulled it out of the garden today and actually liked it!  15/16 loved it and asked for seconds.

The mystery vegetable is....Kohlrabi.  Kohlrabi, Kohlrabi, Yummy!  Yummy! 

We had a great time harvesting our snack like the pilgrims!  We had a big salad with ranch dressing.  It was a fun day and we learned so much about times of long ago.  We ate our snack by candle light as we learned about the voyage of the Mayflower and the first homes built by the Pilgrims and the  Wampanoag Indians.  We look forward to new centers and activities next week that will enrich our learning about the first settlers and their friendship with the Native Americans.  We will be learning a song next week that will ask the question, "Did the Pilgrims eat pizza on Thanksgiving Day?"     

Next week we will be learning the letter C.   We look forward to making the Statue of Liberty from shapes to support our math and social studies standards.   

Don't forget about the book exchange next week!

Picture retakes will be on November 17th.  If you are unhappy with your child's pictures just return the whole package before retake day.

 Family Bingo Night is Friday night!

Don't forget to turn your clock back 1 hour!  Enjoy some extra sleep this weekend!
