Charlie Brown's Thanksgiving Feast Recreated In Ms. Kester's Room
Each student had a job to do to pull off the feast - Errion made the toast, Leah passed out the plates, Aaliyah counted out the jelly beans, Laylah took care of the pretzel distribution, and Errion served the pie. Students enjoyed watching and listening to the Thanksgiving special with audio descriptions, that described the action in the movie.
