Week in reviewThis week we have been learning all about what life was like long ago. We have learned about and discussed the Native Americans and Pilgrims. It was interesting to find the similarities and differences between what life is like for us compared to what life was like during the first Thanksgiving. We read a story and made a map of the pilgrims’ journey on the Mayflower. We read some fun Thanksgiving books, a favorite being Twas the Night before Thanksgiving. We made Pilgrims and Indians and wrote about what we are thankful for! Next week we are looking forward to a presentation from the Boonshoft Museum on Native Americans and dressing like Native Americans and Pilgrims during lunch.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
