Thanksgiving with the Third Graders


Grandson Luke is a third grader in the St. Johns County School System.  We were invited to his Thanksgiving Day celebration which also included lunch.  Some of the children were dressed as Pilgrims and some as Native Americans.  They gave us a little history and sang a few songs before serving lunch.  Several classes were involved so lunch was served in the larger capacity art room.  Luke was pared up with a kindergarten student earlier in the year in a symbiotic reading program that lets third graders act as big brother/sister mentors to the younger children and we were pleased to have Luke's partner join us for lunch.  The third graders served lunch to all the parents and grandparents and we were mightily pleased with their efforts. The only tense moment was when the whipped cream in a spray can dispenser handled by a third grader decorated my pumpkin pie!!.  It worked out fine.  Easy to see why St. Johns County Schools earn such high ratings.  Thanks to the teachers for their hard work and the parents for their support!
