We had a nice, but chilly, Thanksgiving feast today with all the other classes.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Last Friday, we had Alabama Parrot Rescue share some lovely birds with us!

Students were able to pet them.

Can you believe December is just around the corner?  Here is our next snack calendar.

We have had a great week of reptile and amphibian lessons!  

We also discussed more about being Thankful.  Here is what our students said:

I am thankful for...

my family

getting new toys and my little brother

my star blanket I used when I was a baby and my family

my boat to go fishing and my big house

apples with my turkey and Charlotte(his sister) and cheese

eating at home, saying a nice blessing and writing my name

I'm thankful I'm happy!!!!  ( I really found that one to say it all!)

We want to say we are so thankful to have all our wonderful kids in our class!  Ms. Shelley and Ms. Kirsten

Please remember we will close at 1:00 on Tuesday the 25th for Thanksgiving break.  There will be no aftercare that day.

For such a short week, we really have done a lot!  We began our study of reptiles by learning about alligators.  These boys are creating a 3D model of an alligator.

The Kindergarten class got a lesson on Slovakia from one of our parents.

We discussed the meaning of "Thankfulness" and made Thanksgiving place mats.

Our European animal lesson is always a favorite!

Ms. Shelley gave a lesson on Russia and shared her "Matryoshka" dolls with the class.

We have been getting creative with "play time" since the weather has been too cold to let us play outside!
