Thankful for the AM Kindergarten Thanksgiving Feast this morning!
In library we used legos to create some popular Thanksgiving symbols this week as we read books about being thankful.
Our AM Kindergarten students at Cleona Elementary School are busy preparing for their Thanksgiving Feast tomorrow. Mrs. Ayer's students are working collaboratively to create a festive tablecloth, and Mrs. Hower's classroom is making silverware holders.
