THANKSGIVING DAY

Thanksgiving day is near. As you know, the 4th Thursday of November is Thanksgiving and this year we are celebrating it.
First, listen to this song.



First the Pilgrims, they left England- because they wanted to be free.
The way that they were doing things-
They said, "Hey, that's not for me!"

THEY WERE THE PILGRIMS! THEY WERE THE PILGRIMS!
THEY SAILED ACROSS THE SEA!
THEY WERE THE PILGRIMS! THEY WERE THE PILGRIMS!
THEY SAILED IN A BIG, BIG BOAT!

M-A-Y-F-L-O-W-E-R... THAT SPELLS MAYFLOWER!

The travel overseas was difficult.
It was not a happy boat ride.
But after many bumpy days of sickness and storms,
they reached the other side!

Then they met the Wampanoags.
Squanto helped them plant food to eat.
In the Autumn of 1621,
for many days, they had a feast!

You can also watch these wonderful videos explaining the story.



And enjoy these lovely cartoons.





I hope you like them!
