Students at the Desert Sands Unified School District’s State Preschool Class, part of the early childhood education program, spent time learning about Thanksgiving.
The little ones learned about the history of the holiday while incorporating language skills to express their own thoughts and their artistic talents for Thanksgiving décor.
Mercy Alvarez, their teacher, shared their thoughts with us:
