We hope you had a chance to see our First Thanksgiving bulletin board when you were here for the Thanksgiving Feast. K-3 spent the month of November learning about the first Thanksgiving, and as such, about the origins of our country (albeit in a very basic manner). With each simple lesson, we did a corresponding craft, and we displayed the narrative outside our classroom. Mrs. Connie and Mrs. LeeAnne selected the best work each time, and those were displayed on the board. All students had some piece of art featured ... we were so proud of how hard they worked!
Men and women pilgrims came to America.
They sailed on the Mayflower and landed at Plymouth Rock.
The men built log houses for their families.
Native Americans befriended the pilgrims and taught them how to survive in this new land.
They learned to grow corn and catch fish.
They hunted turkey.
To celebrate the first harvest, pilgrims and Native Americans dined together; this was the first Thanksgiving!
The finished product, all together.
We hope you and your family had a wonderful holiday together, giving thanks for the good things God has granted. Next up is the most wonderful time of the year ... Christmas with preschoolers is SO MUCH FUN!!
