This week in first grade we learned about Thanksgiving. We read books and
completed activities about the holiday. Today your child will be bringing
home a non-fiction book about Turkeys to share with you. Next week we will be
writing about what we are thankful for. I hope that you and your family have
a very happy Thanksgiving!
