Our kids were busy last month. They participated in making the following:

  • Handprint turkeys
  • Owls in a tree
  • Group mosaic project - each piece of the photo was drawn and colored by a different student.
  • Turkey with different feathers with Ms. Weeza
  • Thankful Leaves - each child wrote one thing they are thankful for and then decorated and cut out their leaf.
  • Pumpkin pie slices

We have also been going outside as much as we can, and recently have been able to use the gym which the kids really enjoy.
