                        On Thanksgiving Day

                       Mother makes dinner.
                      Grandma brings the pies.
                      Father carves the turkey.
        And I will tell you why. Today is very special 
                     We're thankful, so we say,
                    "Peace and love to everyone"
                         It's Thanksgiving Day!

*Stallone Tested and Approved: {We are so lucky to have Stallone, Annie’s son, test out all of our lessons that we create for you.  We want the lessons to be enjoyable for children, so after each lesson we will post how Stallone did with the lesson in italics under the title, Stallone Tested and Approved}:

Today's activity was one of Stallone's favorite's so far. He loved matching the words to the pictures, and also going over the letters on the different words. Another success!!
