Andy and Mary
Room 25, Grades 4&5

Our classroom is thankful for having a snake in our classroom and for having a nice teacher. We’re going swimming this Friday. Last week our class got to see Reggie eat. Reggie is Mrs. Haas’ snake. He eats big rats! He ate two rats so far. We have a new computer. We are also learning to play recorders.
Why didn’t the turkey want to get caught?
Because he didn’t want to be a meal.

Corey and Heather
Room 12, Grade 3

Our class is thankful for TV, life, home, food, toys, the radio, our teacher, our books, our classroom, and our classmates. We just went to the Ballet (I fell asleep, so I don’t know how it was). We went to Camp Long. It was really fun because we went on a nature hike. Also, lately we have changed desks.

Jessie and Moira
Room 19, Grade 1

Our classroom is thankful for Mom and Dad, turkeys, God, and school. We have been writing on turkeys. We have been learning about turkeys and pilgrims.
Why didn’t the turkey cross the road?
Because Thanksgiving was around the corner!

Steve and Kelsey
Room 17, Grades 1&2

Our classroom is thankful for the guinea pigs. We are going on a field trip to see “Mr. Popper’s Penguins”, and our class is doing great - better than last year. We think Thanksgiving is going to be great this year.
Why didn’t the turkey cross the road?
Because he would be cooked for Thanksgiving

Taylor and Lencho
Room 22, Grade 4

Our class is thankful for the veterans. Our class is thankful for our parents and relatives and all the teachers that teach at Arbor Heights. We are also thankful for the Bon Marche’. Our last field trip was to the Northwest Ballet. It was fancy, and it was great! They were doing spins and jumps. It was cool! In class we are drawing pictures of the ballet.
Why couldn’t the turkey cross the road?
He was stuffed!

Courtney and Tony
Room 18, Grade 2

Our classroom is thankful for our homes, Moms and Dads who love us, helping each other, helping people with less than we have, and school. We made masks. You can see them in the display case. We are making life size models of our bodies. We are showing our skeleton, muscles, and internal organs. They will soon be on display in the back hall.
Why did the turkey cross the road and roll in the dirt? Why did he cross the road again and roll in the dirt?
Because he was a dirty double crosser!

Molly
Room 7, Grade 4

Our class went to the Issaquah fish hatchery for a field trip. We saw a lot of salmon. We split up into groups, and my guide threw food into the fry’s tank, and a lot of the little fry jumped up out of the water. It was cool. After we left we went to Snoqualmie Falls for lunch. We hiked down to the water and watched kayakers for a little bit, and then we hiked back up to the bus.
What makes the sound, “ha, ha, gobble, gobble, plunk”?
A turkey laughing its head off.

Hannah and Kaitlin
Room 15, Grades 2&3

Our classroom is thankful for all the kids we have in this classroom. We are also thankful for our teacher, Mrs. Long. We are working on rocks and minerals, and it is very fun. We had horses visit us this week. Their names are Bolt and Smoky. They came from Heather’s and Hannah’s grandpa’s ranch.
What do you get when you cross a turkey, some sand, and a witch? A turkey sandwich!
Writing tip: If your little sister or brother cannot read or write, help him or her!

Our classroom is thankful for food, friends, books, paper, volunteers, playgrounds, parents, brothers, sisters, grandmas, and grandpas. We are making pumpkin pie out of our class pumpkins. We are learning upper case and lower case letters.
Why did the turkey cross the road?
To buy a new house.

We are thankful for our dads, our baby sisters, and for our parents who take us to Alki. Next Thursday third, fourth, and fifth graders are going to a ballet. On Tuesday Rooms 9 and 12 went to Camp Long. We learned about birds of prey. We had fun.
What kind of turkey has no feathers?
A cooked turkey.

Antjelina and Brian
Grade 1, Room 1

Our classroom is thankful for:

  • · Mr. Leatherman, who helps us on the playground
  • · All the ladies who work in the lunchroom
  • · All the parents who come in to help
  • · Mrs. Golden, a good substitute
  • · Mrs. Keegan, who helps on the playground and in the office
  • · Mr. Wilkie, who helps on the playground and in the computer lab
We write Weekend Stories, we do morning papers, we count money, and we’ve been learning birthdays, addresses and phone numbers. Some of us go to reading. We made wind wheels, we brainstormed G words, we learned Spanish numbers, we made pattern chains, we talked about Veterans’ Day, and we’ve been studying the weather.
Why did the turkey not fly in an airplane?
‘Cause he was afraid to sit in the back.
