Sharing Feast

Hello Parents!
This week we have been learning all about Turkeys and Thanksgiving. Children will be dressed up like Native Americans for the Sharing Feast Friday. The children have also been discovering about different foods that are eaten at Thanksgiving and what the first Thanksgiving was like with the Pilgrims and Native Americans.
I want to remind everyone about our sharing feast tomorrow and that parents and siblings are invited to have lunch with us for $5 a person. Our class will be making Green Bean Casserole in the morning to serve at lunch. Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday and see you back Monday, November 26.
Many Blessings!
Krista Langford

Thanksgiving and Book Fair

Welcome November! Our class is learning all about the month of November and preparing for Thanksgiving, discovering what happened on the first Thanksgiving and what we do at our homes for Thanksgiving. This week we started off by taking a nature walk around the school, picking flowers and leaves, watching butterflies flutter by, and talking about the life cycle of plants. In class last week we took some pumpkin seeds and sprouted them in plastic bags, so today we transferred our seeds to soil cups to help them grow. Food is an important part of why we celebrate Thanksgiving and it is important to know how our food is grown. We also created beautiful nature collages with our findings from our nature walk.
 Currently our school is having a book fair, so please stop by and support our school and buy some books!
