Social Studies Week of November 13th

This week in social studies, students will explore what life was like for the Wampoanog people and settlers when they celebrated what is now known as the first Thanksgiving Feast. We will do this by creating diaries, exploring the food they ate, and comparing it to the food we eat on this Holiday. Lastly, students will continue to uncover gratitude with classroom discussions and forming a kindergarten turkey with their feathers representing what they are grateful for.
