We have been talking a lot about Thanksgiving and how we celebrate the holiday. We have also been talking about what it means to express ourselves. We made a connection to this when we saw that our graham cracker snacks had emojis on them and emojis show different emotions!
Gia was earned the Learner Profile Award this month for "reflective." She is always reflective about her learning and working hard to continue to grow!
We had a lot of fun on our first field trip to Shaker Lakes Nature Center! We learned about living vs. non-living things and what living things need to survive. We got to go on a nature walk and collect things we found. When we got back inside we were able to take a closer look at our findings!
