Classes celebrate Thanksgiving
The students in two of the classes at Austin Elementary School celebrated
the Thanksgiving holidays with special programs and dinners.
The students in Diana Rodriguez' first grade class at Austin Elementary
celebrated the Thanksgiving holidays with a special Thanksgiving program
presented especially for the parent's enjoyment. The students were dressed
in colorful Pilgrim and Indian costumes, sang songs, and presented Thanksgiving
recitations.
The students sang, "The Things I'm Thankful For," and "God is Good."
They did a recitation on "The First Thanksgiving."
They sat down to a feast with their family and friends dining on delicious
traditional foods. The program and dinner were a great success. Rodriguez
and her class would like to thank the parents for helping to make this
holiday season special for the students.
The students were videotaped during the program for later viewing on
the educational channel (48), which will be aired for future viewing.
In conjunction, the students in Patricia Matthew's first grade class
and Lillian H. Creasy's Special Education Class at Austin, celebrated their
Thanksgiving holiday with their parents, grandparents and friends.
The class presented a beautiful program for their guests which included,
a story about, "The First Thanksgiving," sang songs which included, "The
Things I'm Thankful For," and "God is so Good," gave a special presentation
with "Mr. Turkey," played by Danielle Gonzales, and recited a poem entitled,
"Turkey in the Barnyard" pantomimed by the entire class.
The students were elaborately dressed in colorful Pilgrim and Indian
costumes made by the parents. They dined on turkeys, hams, delicious salad
and vegetable dishes. The desserts were superb.
The entire celebration was video taped for future viewing by the children
and will be aired later on the educational channel, for others to view.
Matthews thanks God to have such wonderful parents and children to work
with each year.
