Tues Nov 22- Thanksgiving celebration

Downstairs, the students did a name practicing activity and then played with animals, transformers, star wars figures and links. Before we started with learning about the first Thanksgiving, we finished coloring some Brown Turkey pages from our book. Through a felt story, we learned all about the first pilgrims and Native Americans. How the pilgrims came to American and why and how they got help from their new friends. I showed the students on the globe where the Pilgrims came from and where they lived when they got to America. I had a little finger play about Ted the Turkey and the students helped me with 10 little Indians song. We also had to help Mr. Turkey’s colorful feathers that were hidden all over the room. The kids loved this activity. We also looked at some books of what real Pilgrims and Native Americans would have looked like at the time of the first Thanksgiving- their houses, clothes and how they had to live. At the end of class, I made each of the kids a pilgrim hat and I had to take some group pictures. I hope that you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving bread! This was the best shot of the girls I could get- they were being silly!
