Cucumber finger sandwiches and the Civil War

What a fun day we had with Thomas Jefferson and Abe Lincoln! Most of the kids dressed in their Sunday best in anticipation of our special guests. TJ and Abe were incredible with the kids. They shared about their lives and asked us questions about ours. We ate cucumber and cream cheese finger sandwiches, cream puffs, and miniature brownies with our tea. This was certainly a highlight of our year!

Chinese Restaurant Field Trip

We put our chopstick skills to practice and headed on the bus to a Chinese Restaurant yesterday for an authentic Chinese lunch. We stuffed our faces with egg rolls, beef and broccoli, crispy chicken and lo mein!
