Thanksgiving

I was thinking about my own experience and listening to the other teachers talk about their Thanksgiving Breaks and decided that the break came at a perfect time. It helped give people the rest they needed so they could be re-energized for the final stretch of the 1st semester. That thought of a perfectly-timed break sounded familiar. It's familiar because that's how I feel about all breaks: they come at the perfect time. Here are some things we did on our break:

To kick off the break, 1st grade had a Thanksgiving Feast. It was hectic in the moment but fun in hindsight. So many Pilgrims too.


Becki and I shared a Thanksgiving with 20+ other people from school on Wednesday evening. God has blessed us in providing people to share life with even though we are away from our family.


We spent actual Thanksgiving Day at the beach. Very un-traditional but I'm not complaining. Thanksgiving is not celebrated in the DR so we started to forget about what day it was. Forgetting what day it was until we ran into this inflatable reminder.
