\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m gonna visit my Gigi next week!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
JK investigators are learning about the season, holidays like Diwali and Thanksgiving, and the various ways we all celebrate and enjoy family. What do you call your family members and special friends? Pop-pop, Gaga, Mimi, Auntie\u2026 It\u2019s different for everyone. Some of our family members are no longer living, some are nearby, and some are far, far away. That\u2019s different too. What\u2019s the same is that we all have special people in our lives who care for us, and we all have ways we celebrate with them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crafts in Explorations time help students experience and think about their own and others\u2019 traditions: from rangolis to turkeys, cards to books, JK writers and thinkers explore new materials and ways to communicate. Students this week also authored and illustrated a class-wide recipe book! In this longstanding JK tradition, students each sit with a teacher to tell the story of a favorite Thanksgiving food and how they think it\u2019s made. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Want to make some ice cream? \u201cFirst you get ice. Then you spray it with cream\u2026\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What about corn? \u201cYou can\u2019t make corn! It grows on a vine.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As students worked on the book throughout the week, they learned about publication, authors, illustrators, and how books are made. They also were supported in fundamental story-telling skills, like starting with the first part then saying what\u2019s next, and then how it ends up. Their recipes bound together will warm your hearts (and maybe bring a little chuckle) as we head off for break.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
