Thanksgiving Celebrations
Let's learn a few things about Thanksgiving beyond turkey and Pilgrims!
Did you know that without a woman named Sarah Hale, Thanksgiving probably wouldn't be a national holiday?
Find out why by tuning in to Ms. Bridget's reading of
Thank You, Sarah: The Woman Who Saved Thanksgiving by Laurie Halse Anderson.
Next, we'll travel further back in time with Nickommoh! A Thanksgiving Celebration by Jackie French Koller.
Long before the Pilgrims celebrated their first Thanksgiving at Plymouth, the Native Americans of the area celebrated the harvest during a feast called Nickommoh, meaning "give away" or "exchange." The Pilgrims Thanksgiving was actually more similar to this traditional Native American celebration than the holiday as we celebrate it today!
And of course, you can't have Thanksgiving without a turkey, so we also have a fun turkey craft from Ms. Nori!
