Thanksgiving

Our class studied about Thanksgiving this week. On Monday we learned about the Native Americans-the Wampanoag tribe through the book entitled Tappenum's Day. Mrs. Wells made a circle the exact size of a wetu and we tried to imagine how crowded it would be to live inside with 10 people! On Tuesday we studied about the Pilgrims through the books Sarah Morton's Day and Samuel Eaton's Day. On Wednesday we learned about the Mayflower through the book Life on the Mayflower. Students enjoyed a Pilgrim breakfast in the morning. In the afternoon we pretended to be tween decks on the Mayflower and enjoyed a Mayflower meal. And on Thursday, we studied about the terrific turkey through the book Turkeys. To bring together all our studies, students made a mural about what they had discovered each day. We were all excited to travel back in time to learn about the history of our country.
