Native North Carolina Feast
We are so thankful for our great nation and our great classroom! We first learned about what Thanksgiving would have been like in North Carolina with products only found in our great state. At our feast, we had a thankful tree and made placemats for the Chapel Hill Rehabilitation Center. It's fun to give thanks!
