Thanksgiving's Lessons # 13 11/24 - 11/26 - 2008

This is a special time of the year as we move into the holiday season; I hope you have the ability to see real treasure and true value. Please check your grade on Aeries then you may see me for an extra credit reading for Thanksgiving vacation (you must know your grade). You must read aloud "A Thanksgiving Fable for You and Your Family" in a family situation and bring back a note from one of your parents. See me for the rest of the details.
