Thanksgiving is an important holiday to young and old alike.
Through this holiday, we learn the history of our country and how it began. Children learn valuable lessons on diversity and friendship from the Thanksgiving stories of the Indians and Pilgrims. Third and Fourth grade students can understand the positive and negative aspects of this highly celebrated holiday. The Thanksgiving stories provide answers to questions about our heritage and beginnings, as well as offering opportunities for enrichment in all areas of language arts and other academics. Students vocabulary will be expanded, their ability to listen and speak will blossom, and their understanding of written content will rise.
