A few words about next week.
We will have only two days of school next week before the Thanksgiving break. We will do lots of learning and studying, but we will also do some extra stuff. We are going to learn about the original Thanksgiving. We are going to draw Christmas pictures to hang up in the district office. We are going to make Christmas ornaments that will be hung on the Christmas tree at the power company. We will practice songs for our Christmas program. And on Tuesday, Mrs Woolsey will come to do an art project.
