THANKSGIVING, NOVEMBER 2015

Thanksgiving is a national holiday celebrated in the United States. Every year on the fourth Thursday in November families gather for a day of feasting, football and togetherness. Today’s Thanksgiving celebrations look much different than the original harvest meal of 1621, but it continues to be a day for everyone to come together around the table.

The colonists and local Native Americans came together after a devastating loss the winter of 1620. Many colonists had died because they were not prepared for the cold. The Native Americans taught the colonists all they knew about hunting, growing and harvesting crops to survive. Today, typically families will eat turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, sweet potatoes, cooked and glazed carrots, rolls and salad. For dessert you might find a variety of pies on the menu such as cherry, pecan, and/or pumpkin.

Here in school, on November 26^th, we are celebrating  Thanksgiving and we are doing so by the hand of “The Improving Company” .  Every twenty-five minutes every group of students  will enjoy  a different activity such: singing, theatre, storytelling, arts…  Also a clown and a magician will accompany us in a day of togetherness.
