This week we though a lot about the Thanksgiving holiday coming up. We read books to help us learn more about the holiday, where it orginiated, and different perspectives for understanding it. Students learned that humans have always celebrated fall harvests, but that the first Thanksgiving was something unique to our country. We read about Thanksgiving through a biography of Squanto's journey, a native American who helped the pilgrims learn how to utilize and live off of the new land in America. We read many books about how people celebrate Thanksgiving, and reflected on our own traditions as well as what we are thankful for!
