Pilgrims and Indians

To get ready for Thanksgiving, we spent the week learning about Pilgrims and Indians.  The children did several activities for each, throughout the week.  They also talked about the First Thanksgiving and how it become a holiday that we celebrate each year.

Of course, we had to have a Pow-Wow!
 It sounded pretty funny to hear "Indians" throughout the school all week!

The letter of the week was "O".  The children made "O is for Octopus" and made Oatmeal Bars for snack.
