3rd Grade Thanksgiving Performance

There’s a chill in the air. Well, sometimes, after all, it IS Houston. The leaves are changing and falling to the ground and our Cimarron 3rd graders are spreading holiday cheer with music and amazing artwork. Their Crazy Turkey Thanksgiving Program encore performance was the highlight of the school day on the day before the Thanksgiving break as we counted the minutes until Thanksgiving Break.  

The students began rehearsing the four selections in early October and quickly learned the catchy tunes for their show. Always willing to accept new challenges, our Cimarron Cheetahs perfected their “Turkey Woogie” skills so that they could WOW their audience.“Hey Pilgrims” told the story in song of the courageous settles who came to America on the Mayflower and later celebrated our very first Thanksgiving Day. “Many Thanks” sent the students on a trip around the world, learning to say thank you in eight different languages. I’m sure that this will come in handy as they someday travel the globe.Then came the choreography and turkey gobble sound effects to complete the presentation of “Turkey Followed Me Home”.  A surprise visit from Tom Turkey himself brought down the house.  We are grateful for teachers who make learning so much fun!
