What is Thanksgiving??

It's been a busy couple of weeks and Mrs. Willis hasn't been too on-top of updating this blog!  Oops!!!  Since, I'm home for a SNOW DAY though, I thought it'd be a perfect opportunity to go ahead and update!  I've been interviewing the class about the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday - and they've had some great things to say.  I'd like to share their thoughts about Thanksgiving with you....so enjoy, out of the mouths of Kindergarten and 1st graders..... :)

Thanksgiving is a time to spend time with your family.  And a time to make people happy.  You can make them happy by bringing them to your house and giving them food.  And we say thanks to God for everything He's given us and for dying on the cross for our sins.  -Avery

You eat turkey.  -Zion
