The First Thanksgiving

This week, first graders spent some time learning about the First Thanksgiving.  They watched a BrainPop video, read an article and took a virtual field trip to Plymouth Plantation.  As a group, we discussed the different ways in which the First Thanksgiving is different than Thanksgiving today.  We also wrote about the differences and similarities.  We ended our week by creating a Thankful Turkey about something that we are thankful for and why.  Ask your child to tell you about the First Thanksgiving and how it's different than the way it is celebrated today.
