This week we had our Thanksgiving Feast!
We made bonnets for the pilgrim girls and hats for the pilgrim boys.
After reading the book, "The Very First Thanksgiving", and discussing what the first Thanksgiving may have really been like, we talked about what Thanksgiving is like with our own family.
Then, we had a preschool Thanksgiving, and oh what a feast we had!
We also talked about the life of a pilgrim boy and girl. We talked about the "Book of Rules" they had, what their school was like, what discipline they experienced, what games they played, and what their home life was like.
Bailee volunteered to wear the sign "idle boy/girl" - a punishment given to a child who was found not completing their assigned work.
Ellie volunteered to wear the "Finger bite baby" sign - a punishment given to a child caught biting nails.
We each took a turn in the corner, with a dunce hat on : )
While discussing the school life of a pilgrim boy or girl, we learned about the Hornbook.
We used own hornbooks, by tracing letters with a feather.
