Thanksgiving Day is almost here. This is a very special time of year. We enjoyed watching summer turn into fall. We loved watching the leaves turn into every beautiful autumn color.
Now we are learning that the Earth is getting very still. Most of the leaves have been raked, branches are bare and animals are getting ready for the long winter ahead.

This is the time of year we stop and thank God for all of the many gifts we have been given.
We say prayers of thanks for families, friends and food to eat. We are learning about the very first Thanksgiving and how even in th harshest of days there is plenty to be thankful for.

Our theme in each subject area will be related to Thanksgiving. We will share stories, poems, songs and rhymes about the holiday. There will be math lessons and lots of art projects to get you in the spirit, too.
