This week in Kaleidoscope we watched a video about the history of Thanksgiving. We discussed the Mayflower, the duration of the voyage, and things we are thankful for. We talked about interesting facts, such as: turkey was not served on the first Thanksgiving, forks were not used (hadn't been invented yet), and it was celebrated about a year after the Pigrims landed on Plymouth. The 3rd and 4th grade classes wrote a sensory poem about Thanksgiving and all of the children are in the process of making a placemat.
