Thanksgiving
We have been busy learning about Thanksgiving. We talked about being thankful for things we have and what we do on Thanksgiving. We also talked about the first Thanksgiving and the reason we celebrate. Ask you child about the Pilgrims and where they left (England). What did they sail on? (the Mayflower) Was it an easy trip? (No) When they arrived in America did they have homes? (no they built one big house until the spring time and then they built more)
We learned that it was a hard, long winter and some Pilgrims died on the Mayflower and during the winter. We learned that the Native Americans helped the Pilgrims learn how to hunt, fish and plant crops.

Totem Poles
We learned that Native Americans make totem poles to tell a story about their group. We worked with Mrs. Jennings class and made totem poles out of boxes. Each group had three Kindergarteners in it. They first painted their box gray and then later painted the animal they were assigned on it.
