Students in Ms. Childress' class read the book "Duck for Turkey Day." The book is about how not everyone has the same Thanksgiving traditions, and it is okay because this is what makes everyone unique. All of her students had the opportunity to share their own Thanksgiving traditions during class. What are your Thanksgiving traditions?
