MAN — Mrs. Whitney Preston and Mrs. Katharine Ellis’ Universal Pre-K classes of South Man Elementary celebrated Thanksgiving by making Native American headbands, disguising Tom the Turkey, and listening to Thanksgiving stories.
The students were asked several questions regarding… How to cook a turkey. “Who makes your Thanksgiving turkey?” “Where does he/she get it?” “How much does it cost?’ and “How does he/she fix the turkey?”
“We hope you enjoy them as much as we did,” said Preston.
The following were their replies…
