Activities for November 2020



November is here! During this month we are going to integrate Patterns and Color Theory in our artwork.  We are going to celebrate Native American Heritage Month and Thanksgiving by creating Pumpkin Patches inspired by Yayoy Kusama.  We are also going to work on leaves, trees and turkeys.

Thanksgiving Day 2020 
Thanksgiving Day is a national holiday celebrated in Canada and the United States. It was originally celebrated as a day of giving thanks for the blessing of the harvest and of the preceding year. Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday of October in Canada and on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States. Several other places around the world observe similar celebrations. Although Thanksgiving has historical roots in religious and cultural traditions, it has long been celebrated in a secular manner as well.
