feastA very large meal that is greatly enjoyed.
holidayA day of celebration.
PilgrimsPeople from England who moved to Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1620.
A turkey is in the oven. Vegetables are on the stove. A pumpkin pie is ready. What day is it? It must be Thanksgiving!
It was the year 1620. Some people from England came to America. They wanted a new home. These people were Pilgrims. They started a new life in New England. But would they be able to live in this place during a cold winter?
American Indians had lived in America for a long time. They gave the Pilgrims food. They taught them how to fish and hunt. In the spring, the Indians showed which plants would grow well. Then the Pilgrims could eat the food from the plants.
The Pilgrims grew corn, squash, and beans. They learned which wild fruits and berries were safe to eat. The Pilgrims knew they would have enough food for the winter. They planned a feast.
The feast lasted three days. Pilgrims and American Indians came. They ate turkey, rabbit, and deer. They also ate corn, pumpkin, and berries. People may have eaten eel, codfish, and clams. They played games. They had races, too.
Today we still enjoy this holiday. It comes on the fourth Thursday in November. Family and friends visit. They come from near and far. They eat lots of good food.
Some people go to parades. Others go to football games. Families bring food to people who do not have enough to eat. It is a day to share. It is a day to celebrate.
It is a time to think about all that we have. We are lucky to have a place to live and food to eat. We are thankful for our friends and family. It is a great holiday!
Our families love and care for us all year. Other people help us stay safe, too. Police officers, firefighters, and school crossing guards help us. So do doctors and nurses. Make a thankyou poster for someone you do not usually thank.
Decorate a piece of poster board. Add pictures that remind you of Thanksgiving. You can draw them or cut them from magazines. In the center of your poster write:
- This Thanksgiving Im thankful for you!
- You (write in what that person does, for example: help keep us safe).
- Thank you for doing this!
You can make the thank-you poster alone or with friends. Everyone who worked on it should sign his or her name. Give the poster to the person just before Thanksgiving. EXPECT TO SEE A SMILE!
