Wednesday 23rd November

The children learned about Thanksgiving and the story behind it. I explained using the white board by drawing pictures and writing the new vocabulary beside the pictures.

We sang thanksgiving songs and watched 2 videos that explain the story.

I prepared little branches for the children to make their own thank you tree. They painted autumn coloured leaves, cut them out and wrote one word that they were thankful for on the back of each leaf. They stuck their leaves on the tree.

I also prepared a page with a picture of a plate, a knife and a fork. The children drew on the plate all the foods that people eat for thanksgiving.
