The Baker's Dozen, Adventures in PreK-B: So Very Thankful

It's hard to believe it's already November, and that Thanksgiving is just around the corner! This month we will be talking about the many things, and people, in our lives that we are thankful for.

While we may not be very thankful for the cold temperatures that November brought in, we are thankful for the beautiful foliage and all of the magnificent colors of fall. The beautiful trees around our campus were the inspiration for the decorations that hang from our ceiling. Simply mix paint in your favorite fall colors with shaving cream,

dip your leaf template,

allow to dry,

scrape away all of the shaving cream and voila! Beautiful leaves from what started as a big mess!

Our window decorations for November also represent something we are thankful for, the harvest. We are thankful for all of the farmers who work to provide us with food, for God granting good weather so the crops can grow, and for our families that work to provide all of the food we need.

There are many wonderful people that keep Holy Souls up and running and we are very thankful for them! Each student made a card for someone around campus who helps us in prek. Each recipient was so grateful for the card and they were all very impressed that we took the time to personalize each card with their name! PreK B is thankful for:
