On Tuesday, we had a wonderful feast in the E.C.O. woods. First, we played Turkey Tag in the field. Then, we gathered around the fire for our Thankful Circle and listened to a story about the "three sisters" crops. At our forest stations, students prepared the apples, peeled carrots, ate yummy popcorn, and decorated thankful stones with special messages and artwork. Later in our classroom, we enjoyed the delicious carrots and baked apples! Thank you to every who helped with this lesson!
During our literacy/discovery times, we learned about the first Thanksgiving and about the lives of both the Wampanoag and Pilgrims in the 1620s. It was interesting to compare life in the different villages and also to think about the similarities and differences to the way we live today.
I hope that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend!
