They Were The Pilgrims

Click here for our special Thanksgiving song! "They  Were The Pilgrims"

Today we learned about the first Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving is a holiday that celebrates a special harvest in  America almost 400 years ago!

The Pilgrims were a group of people who sailed from England to America on a ship called the Mayflower. They came here for religious freedom.

They wanted to go to the church they wanted to- C.J.

The Native Americans, members of the Wampanoag tribe helped the Pilgrims learn to plant and hunt.
A holiday is a special day when important people or events are remembered. On Thanksgiving we remember this special feast.
A tradition is something we do with our family every year like eating turkey on Thanksgiving.
We eat a lot- Riley
On Halloween you get candy- Henry T.
We put up Christmas trees- Mya
We go tot parades on the 4th of July- Sam
We go hunting for eggs on Easter- Jocelyn

Change means that things do not stay the same over time. Much has changed since that first feast.
Now we have ovens they used to have to cook outside by a fire- Molly
Long ago they had to make their clothes not buy them- Easton
