Hi! It's been another crazy month filled with trips, special events, learning, and fun and we've made it to Christmas break! It's been over a month ago now since we celebrated Pilgrim day before Thanksgiving break. Many of the kids dressed up and we had crafts, activities, and a (somewhat) authentic Thanksgiving meal.
We wove colorful paper placemats:

What a great opportunity to look back on what the pilgrims endured to by able to worship God freely and start a new country.
