Yesterday we had our little Thanksgiving feast. The whole week before we learn about what the Pilgrims did for work and how it was when they first arrived. Then we play some games and write with feather pens (and paint - not ink). And on the day before school gets out we re-inact the first Thanksgiving. I let the kids choose whether they want to be Pilgrims or Indians. Then then make their costumes and they each bring in something for the feast. This year I pushed all the desks together and made one huge table. They thought that was pretty cool.
I love my job.
I'll tell ya, these kids don't get much cuter.

Look at those strapping pilgrims! :)
My mom's class did this yesterday too, and as she was showing them the Indian vest - one little boy says, "That's not a vest, that's a paper bag!"
So cute! I don't know how you get the energy to keep up with all those little ones!
How fun was that? I vaguely remember doing something like that in first or second grade... they're all adorable!
