Thanksgiving Party at School!!

McCanless’ class made adorable Indian costumes for their Thanksgiving party. Ms. Jordan decided to give each student a “fitting” Indian name to each child. The day before the party, I was admiring each costume and Ms. Jordan came up to me laughing as she held out McCanless’ little tunic which read, “Morning Dove.” “How sweet,” was my first thought, untill I noticed Ms. Jordan laughing hysterically. Then I realized what she really meant, as I too began to laugh.

I knew McCanless wasn’t the most cheerful toddler most mornings, but I didn’t realize that everyone else noticed too. Apparently, Ms. Jordan can be a bit sarcastic. By “Morning Dove” she really meant Morning Bull.

After turkey,mac and cheese, and the works, McCanless’ class went to the music room to sing their “Turkey” songs. McCanless was really a ham for the day. She jumped in the middle of the circle, danced and did everything she wasn’t supposed to do, especially sing. Ms. Jordan told me McCanless usually sings loudly and knows all of the songs. Not this day!

Parker smiled for me, but I couldn’t get my little turkey to stand still.

…this is all I could get!
