Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving the kids put together a special play for their parents. We invited parents up to our room for a mini-play and then for a Thanksgiving feast afterwards. We had so much fun putting together this play and making our costumes. We recited several poems and songs for the parents, then performed a readers theater for them. Afterwards the room was transformed into a family feast for parents and students to enjoy spending time together while sharing Thanksgiving lunch.

After our play we had a special guest speaker come up with authentic Native American artifacts (and a few replicas) to help us better understand the Native Americans of Arkansas. It was such a great day!

Finally we ended our day with getting to touch some real turkey parts. The kids were so fascinated with all we did and I know it'll be something they'll remember!
