Graves Causes Some Turkey Trouble

1st graders from Graves Elementary enjoyed Thanksgiving story, "Turkey Trouble", during their designated Library time. Tiger Librarian Mrs. Libson had a fun cut & paste headband activity for her students to go along with the reading. By the end of the activity the library was transformed and all the students were anxious to show off their wonderful art work and smile big for the camera!
Graves would like to wish everyone a happy and blessed Gobble Gobble day and they hope no one runs into any "Turkey Trouble!"

Pete Gallego Promotes Reading with McDonald's


In order to promote AR Reading, Ms. Montes' 4th grade class from Pete Gallego Elementary connected Reading to Social Studies and Writing in their "Disguised Turkey" project. Parents were asked to help their children disguise a turkey so that their turkeys would make it through Thanksgiving Day without being found and eaten! Students were also asked to write a description of their non-turkey to convince readers of their non-turkey status.

McDonald's Restaurant on Del Rio Blvd. allowed for these students "Disguised Turkeys" to be displayed on their location. Thank you McDonald's Restaurant for your continued support towards our amazing students!
