2025 - 2026 PreK Family Tree
Week 11/17 - 11/21
Last week we discussed Thanksgiving, it's meaning and learned about healthy vs. unhealthy foods. We also learned the meaning of the word "feast" and took a deep dive into cranberries. We watched a video explaining how cranberries grow, how they are harvested, why they float and how healthy they are for us. During our cranberry discovery table, a few brave students tasted one. I warned them that they were tart but they were still brave enough to taste one. Fr. Emmett visited our classroom during this time and he ate one too.
Reactions to tasting cranberries.

PLEASE attend this party. It'll take all of 2 hrs then you can go back to work or whatever. It is heartbreaking to have 1 or 2 kids with no parent. If you can't attend, please send a grandparent, someone. I hope you understand my meaning, I'm thinking of your kids and I've seen the sadness. Thank you
Have a blessed week.
