A Thanksgiving Education

Makenna has been learning about the origins of the Thanksgiving Holiday at school. She is receiving the classic lessons about the Pilgrims, the Mayflower, and the American Indians.

Her most recent lesson was on the Indians. She was told to write down two things she learned about them from the lesson -- her responses are below:





















(For those that can't read her writing this is what she wrote: "One thing I know about Native Americans is that they died." and "...that they catch fish.")



She was also learning Cause and Effect. I found her 4th "Cause and Effect" quite humorous:


(CAUSE: They didn't have a bathroom. EFFECT: They had to go outside behind a tree.)

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Made us laugh! I love it. One day I'll have kids to make comments and complete assignments just like that. Thanks for sharing.
