Caroline is having a great time in kindergarten and it seems that at every turn there is a new and exciting activity or adventure for her to enjoy. At Thanksgiving each year, the East Lake Kindergarten students celebrate all they've learned about the first Thanksgiving with a feast - complete with Wampanoag Native Americans and Puritan Pilgrims. Like all things kindergarten, it's a little over the top, but I, once again, must tip my hat to East Lake and say that every year the teachers make things special for the kids - even though they've been through the same activities many times before. Each time they do something its like the first time and that is important. I LOVED the little Puritan headcovers they made for the girls to wear. I think Caroline makes a very fashionable and cute little Pilgrim!
"Our rural ancestors, with little blest,
Patient of labour when the end was rest,
Indulged the day that housed their annual grain,
With feasts, and off'rings, and a thankful strain."
~Alexander Pope
