We read This is the Feast twice and really tried to understand the story of the pilgrims! On day two, we put together a timeline of the Thanksgiving story based on our book! The kids did awesome! :)
We also briefly learned a few ship parts and labeled the Mayflower.
Finally, we made our I'm Thankful turkeys! The kids did great sounding out their people and things they were thankful for. Make sure your kiddos are "stretching their words" and writing down all the sounds they hear at home. Great practice for writing!
Finally, we reviewed what we remembered about pilgrims. I had one kiddo try to tell me "Yoshi" saved the pilgrims, who indeed were pirates. I was cracking up for hours. :)
