The Kindergarteners

The K’s had a fun month. We made turkeys, pilgrims, Native American signs and scarecrows. We learned to write using Native American signs. We wrote what we were thankful for and told stories about scarecrows we made.

After Schoolers

The after schoolers did an excellent job decorating the building for the holidays.

We are hard at work on gifts for Mom & Dad!
