Hello everyone! Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is a holiday in the United States of America. We celebrate it the 4th Thursday of November every year. This year Thanksgiving is Thursday, the 26th of November 2009. We have been working with the story of Thanksgiving and a song in school this year. Would you like to learn the story?

Once upon a time.... Once upon a time... Once upon a time...
There were some European people called the Pilgrims. The Pilgrims were very unhappy so they got in a boat and they came to America. In America they were happy BUT they were very cold, they had no food and no friends. One day they met the Indians. The Indians were very nice. They helped the Pilgrims plant corn, squash and hunt turkey. They all became friends. Now, the last Thursday in November we celebrate the Pilgrims and the Indians by eating a very big Thanksgiving feast of turkey.
And that's all... And that's all... And that's all...

Did you like the story? We enjoy the story because we make sounds each time we see a red word. What sound do you make for very cold?

We also sang a Thanksgiving song:

I’m a turkey, big and fat.
I spread my tail. I walk like that.
Each days corn I will not miss.
And when I talk, I sound like this:
Gobble! Gobble! Gobble!



It's very fun to sing! Would you like to learn more about Thanksgiving? You can follow this link to learn another Thanksgiving story.
