Smorstad's Scoop- November 20th

**WEEKLY SCOOP!**

This week we have stepped into a time machine and traveled back to the day of the pilgrims. We have learned about the journey on the Mayflower, revisited life in a one room log cabin, used horn books in the classroom, and got a full body work out while we made butter. They learned a lot about the life of a pilgrim and are thankful for the amenities that they have today. Have a happy thanksgiving! I am thankful for the opportunity to teach your children.
