The kids enjoyed learning about turkeys during our short week last week. Thank you to all who donated to the bake sale. I hope you enjoyed any goodies you took home. TRADITIONS Over the next three weeks, we will be doing a lot of holiday projects and talking about what we doing during the holidays. We would like to invite you to come into the classroom and talk about any traditions you have during this time of year.
