Thanksgiving!

Today we had a fun day pretending we were Pilgrims and Indians. This morning we read a book about Pilgrims and compared/contrasted Then from Now. Below you will see our chart. We made Pilgrim hats for the boys and bonnets for the girls. Mrs. Parfitt and Mrs Stolpman's classes joined us in having a Pilgrim and Indian Thanksgiving Feast for lunch. We sat out in the hall and ate on floor together. We even had pumpkin pie for dessert :) We had FUN!

Enjoy the pictures and have a Happy and safe Thanksgiving Break. See you all on Tuesday :)
