What children learn in Level 19
- Thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday in November. It's a day to give thanks for what we have.
- Long ago, in 1620, the Pilgrims sailed to America on a ship called the Mayflower.
- The Wampanoag people had lived there for thousands of years. They helped the Pilgrims learn to grow corn.
- In 1621, the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag shared a harvest feast that lasted three days.
- Today, many families share a big meal and talk about what they're thankful for.
- Try it with a grown-up! Take turns naming three things you're thankful for.
