Pilgrim Festivities

Over the past few days, 2nd graders have been celebrating and sharing all of their learning about the Pilgrims and the First Thanksgiving.  We cooked applesauce, cornbread, and homemade butter.  Students rotated through 3 different Pilgrim centers; fun and games (they made a bilbo catcher), stenciling, and a one room school house!  This morning we shared our learning with the whole school during our assembly and sang fun Thanksgiving songs.

Here is our Bilbo Catcher.  Pilgrims would have carved their out of wood!

Students enjoyed dressing up like Pilgrim children!
