Happy Thanksgiving

    I had a great Thanksgiving.  Today was not only Thanksgiving, but also my pre-kindergardeners birthday party.  All the pre-kinders have one birthday celebration at the end of each month.  All of the students who have a birthday in the month of November say a mini speech in front of all the classes.  The teachers work one-on-one with the birthday students to prepare their speeches.  After the speeches, the classes that have a birthday student sing a song.  My students sang, "If All The Raindrops."  They were great!  Next, comes the group birthday song and cake.  It was a lot of fun!

     At the end of the work day, the teachers had a feast.  Our campus director treated us to Thanksgiving dinner.  I had turkey, mashed potatoes, beans, carrots, stuffing, ham, rolls, apple pie, pumpkin pie, and cherry pie.  It was very delicious.  We had it in our school library and played Christmas music in the background.  It was nice to share it with my friends and new family.  After dinner, we sat around and chatted, just like home.  Happy Thanksgiving!
