Happy Thanksgiving!


Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. It began as a day of giving thanks and sacrifice for the blessing of the harvest and of the preceding year.
Many countries have harvest festivals. The American Thanksgiving story goes back to early settlers known as Pilgrims. It had been a hard year for them. When their harvest was good they wanted to celebrate.
The American Indians learned that the Pilgrims were celebrating, so they brought some food to the party, too. They brought things like deer meat, shellfish, and corn. Everyone was very thankful to have a good meal and great friends. What are you thankful for?
