This week in kindergarten, the kindergartners learned a little about Native Americans. Ms. Esquerra is Native American and she taught the students. She told them about her dress and what some of the things on it mean. She taught them the respect Native Americans have for eagle feathers. She then told the students a story about a coyote and a rooster and how the rooster brings up the sun.

The second grade went on our annual walking field trip around the community. We visited the library, pharmacy, bank and the Veteran's Museum where Ted Jones spoke to us. The kids loved it! We also did our Thanksgiving program for the Senior Citizens and had a blast. Luckily we stayed dry and bundled up! It was a good time for everyone.
The 2nd grade had a grand ol' time at our annual Pie Feast!! We hope everyone has a fabulous Thanksgiving!!
To honor Veterans on Veteran's Day each class was given a balloon and a paper and each class wrote down veterans they know on the paper and then each class released a balloon to honor those veterans.
