Thanksgiving Facts

The weeks prior to Thanksgiving, we read several non-fiction books about Thanksgiving. The class really got into the history of the first Thanksgiving. We asked the 5th grade social studies teacher, Mrs. Howard, to come visit and try to "stump" us with some Thanksgiving trivia. She was blown away with our knowledge. Her favorite answer was given after she asked why the pilgrims wanted to come to America. Sweet little Malayla answered, "because the king of England was bossy!" So true!
