HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
The children have been having a lot of fun learning about Native Americans and Thanksgiving. We have talked about how some things they hear are real and some are pretend. I taught on the Navajo Reservation at the beginning of my career and I enjoy sharing stories about the culture. We learned that a tipi is not the only kind of Native American home, but it depended on the area people lived in as it does now. They are making longhouses and adobe houses and we have looked at other types of houses. We have done a lot of turkey math involving counting, shapes and addition and they have made some beautiful turkeys.
I hope that you will be able to join us on November 22 for our program, we will sing a few songs and the children can show you their projects. It's at 12:30, families are invited. (grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins siblings) The children are very proud of the bread they baked and are excited about sharing it with you.
