Thanksgiving Feast: Next Tuesday, students will put to use their "extensive" knowledge of fractions and mixed numbers by helping make a dish to share with the class on Tuesday, November 26th. Parents are invited as we all share the significance of the family dish and what we are thankful for this time of the year.
