Purpose
So today you
guys are going
to pretend to be
Pilgrims coming
to America!
Because you
are still on your
way to America,
you need to find
out what daily
life will be like
when you get
there! We will
explore how
you will work
together to
build your
houses, make
your clothing
and do your
chores!
Today we are
going to learn
about the very
first Thanksgiving
and how the
Pilgrims and
Native Americans
worked together
to celebrate their
harvest and
express their
thankfulness.
Today we are
going to
explore the
relationship
between bees
and flowers
and how they
work together
to help one
another
survive.
Today, I am
going to read
you a story
about two girls
who only had
one shoe! Its
called Four
Feet, Two
Sandals. I want
you to pay
attention to
what life is like
for these two
girls. We are
going to be
looking for the
main message
of this story and
how we could
work
individually and
together in our
community to
solve the
problem these
girls face.
