News and Information Week of Nov. 23rd
This week we continued our study of Native Americans and Pilgrims. We discussed the Pilgrim lifestyle and the importance of their friendship with the Native Americans. The short two day week we will conclude our study of Native Americans/Thanksgiving/Pilgrims with our little turkeys doing the tango on Tuesday morning at 8am in the cafeteria. The Butterfly turkeys will be located on the middle left of the stage if you would like to plan where to sit. When we return from the Thanksgiving holiday we will begin our Holiday studies with many fun and festive activities!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE - Have a wonderful long weekend. Please be safe if traveling and enjoy your time with family and friends.
