In Mrs. Carpenter’s class, students explored a variety of Thanksgiving-themed texts to learn more about the history and traditions of the holiday. They began by reading Thank You, Sarah, discovering how Sarah Hale played an important role in preserving Thanksgiving. Inspired by her story, students wrote heartfelt letters of thanks to a group of soon-to-graduate Marine Boot Camp recruits.

The class also enjoyed listening to ’Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving and had fun creating a “Giggle/Gobble” true-or-false game based on the story. To wrap up the unit, students read Squanto’s Journey and made a “Three Sisters” craft to learn how Native Americans traditionally grew corn, beans, and squash together.

It was a wonderful week of learning, gratitude, and creativity!

Kaitlynne Leimbach, Academic Tutor

Years at Midview: 2 years but I was the Midview Marching Blue Auxiliary Advisor for 12 years before I started teaching here

Phrase or motto I share with students: It's ok to make mistakes, even adults do. Just keep trying.

School Year Superlative: Most Likely to Have a Snack on Hand and Willing to Share

Favorite tradition, lesson or activity with students: Writing letters and words in shaving cream

Being a Middie means: Being a Middie means being part of a family. I fell in love with the Middie community when I was coaching the Auxiliary line with the Midview Marching Blue and it made me want to also teach here!
