Thanksgiving Day
Thanksgiving Day is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in the month of November. You can do some activities about that celebration:
In 1620 the Pilgrims made a difficult trip across the ocean from England. They went to the New World in search of religious freedom.
The Pilgrims’ first winter was very hard, but the Indians taught the Pilgrims to plant corn, to hunt and to fish.
When the next fall came, the Pilgrims had plenty of food. They were thankful and had a feast to give thanks. They invited the Indians to join them. This was the first Thanksgiving.
In 1863 President Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a national holiday. It is a time when families are together and have a celebration dinner, with turkey, corn bread and pumpkin pie.
