After learning about traditions, Kindergarten scholars in Mrs. Cash's & Mrs. Carr's class created a SPOON of THANKS to show gratitude. Each scholar is to take the spoon and put it on the table for Thanksgiving. The spoon is to be passed around with the holder sharing who or what he/she is thankful for. We hope this will be the start of a new tradition for our Kindergarten scholars and their families.
