Thanks for the yummy Pilgrim and Native Americans treats! We had pilgrim hat cookies and indian corn rice crispie treats. "This isn't even real corn. It tastes way gooder." --just one of the rave reviews.
We had a fun day learning about Native Americans and Pilgrims. We did a lot of pretending today! "What would it be like if someone told you that you had to go to their church and you couldn't go to yours?" (you should have seen the outrage on their little faces!!) or "What would it feel like to be on a big boat on the water?" (lots of swaying). We talked all about what it would be like to ride on a ship for 2 months without a fridge or a store. We also learned about life for the pilgrims when they arrived. We had fun talking about Native Americans in a teepee and how they introduced corn and other veggies to the Pilgrims. The craft we made is a finger puppet, but can also double as a place holder for Thanksgiving Dinner.
Also today:
Letter J. Ask about Jill and Jasper the Jaguar.
Charades: The kids loved this. They were all so supportive of each other when it was their turn. I wish adults could always be like that! This was a great activity to build problem-solving skills.
