Learning about Thanksgiving

Miss Heney's unit on Thanksgiving has been wonderful! I hope your child has told you about what he/she has learned. Here are a couple of photos from last week's learning...

Last Tuesday, students took a "virtual field trip" to Plimoth Plantation. Plimoth was the original spelling...it is now Plymouth, of course. If you are interested in viewing the webcast from Scholastic, go to:

This link will take you to a great interactive diagram of the Mayflower: http://www.scholastic.com/scholastic_thanksgiving/voyage/tour.htm

Students made their own Thanksgiving timelines on Thursday, which included the first Thanksgiving, Lincoln's "Thanksgiving Proclamation," your child's first Thanksgiving, and Thanksgiving 2010.
