We are just beginning our discussions and projects about Thanksgiving!
On Friday, we discussed the story of the First Thanksgiving. We learned all about the Pilgrims' journey from England to America. Then, we retold the story using different colored construction paper cut into links. Each color symbolized a part of the Thanksgiving story.
Next, we talked about what it means to be thankful. I asked the kids to talk about some things they were thankful for. We made a circle map and then created a class book of things we are thankful for. My class did a great job and we learned about what it truly means to be grateful for what we have.
Check out some of our photos from both activities.
