How to Cook a Turkey: During the holiday season Ms. Bliven asked her Library classes how to cook a turkey. Take a look below at the responses from the Pre-K, K, and 1st Grade classes.
Pre-K
Mommy doesn’t cook any turkey.
Put it in a pot and mix it. Put it in the oven and it cooks all day than it cools down. Mom has a light bulb so I can see the turkey cooking and you eat it with a fork.
Mom and me cook. We push it together, and turn it then it’s done, then Mom calls my brother and Dad.
Kindergarten
Put it in an oven. Cook it with dishes. Put gray on it. When it’s done put it on plates and serve it.
Most others said they did not know how to cook a turkey.
First Grade
Take the feathers off, cut it, cook it. When it cools off cut the pieces and bones off.
From the store. Take the bones and feathers out. Put salt and pepper on it. Cook it for 1 hour. Put butter on it and then eat it.
Technology News… Computer Fun and Learning – Parts of Speech
A good writer knows how words work and how to use them. One step to becoming a good writer is learning how to classify words. Students love to build with blocks. There are different types of blocks: basic square blocks, connectors, corners, windows, doors, and more. In order to make a fabulous building, they need to combine several types of blocks. We can think about words like building blocks. It takes several types of words to make a good sentence or paragraph. In English, we sort words into eight
types, called parts of speech. The eight parts of speech are: nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections. Let’s learn more about them. Go to any web browser and type in the link below or look for the links on our school website: www.frrsd.org.
