We would like to wish all our families a safe break and Happy Thanksgiving. Last Wednesday the kids told us what they are thankful for and they said some really nice things. A common answer was that they are thankful for their families. This week our dramtic play center will be Thanksgiving dinner, where the kids will pretend to serve food on one another family style. We will also be having a pre-Thanksgiving celebration by making no-bake pumpkin pie on Wednesday for academics. We will be combining math and science during our pie making.
School will be closed Thursday November 22 and Friday November 23 in observance of Thanksgiving
