Once Upon A Dream

Gabby's grade took part in a huge Thanksgiving celebration at school today. They have been learning all about the first Thanksgiving all month. They've done tons of art projects, writing projects, and studies into the early relationships of Pilgrims and Native Americans. It has been a really fun unit. Today they wore the projects that they have been working so hard to create. Yesterday, Gabby's class made cornbread for the entire first grade...about 10 batches. Mrs. Kinzel dressed up like a Native American. Mrs. Nealon dressed like a pilgrim. The children all sat together at a huge floor table. They had a toast with cider. Mrs. Fitzmaurice played music while the students sang a few Thanksgiving songs for the parents that helped make the feast possible. Gabby wrote a Thanksgiving Day poem that she shared with her principal, Mr. Anders. It was a very exciting day in first grade!
