Preschool Outline - U and Thanksgiving

This was a very fun preschool. Fortunately, they were awesome at Uu already so we had lots of time for the holiday. The girls loved the hand turkeys, the pilgrim girls and learning all about Thanksgiving. Here they are singing their song and showing off their adorable door hangers.
