Our students at María Inmaculada
school are looking forward to celebrating Thanksgiving on 26th of November.
Thanksgiving is an American holiday where they celebrate the time being thankful for all the good
things that have happened during the year. It is typical to
have a dinner by eating stuffed turkey, cranberry sauce, potatoes, corn and
pumpkin pie.
Thanksgiving began when the pilgrims from England sailed to America to
have the freedom to practice their religion freely. One year there was a
horrible winter and the pilgrims had no food to eat and many died. By time spring
came, the Native Americans came to their aid. They brought the pilgrims food to
eat and they had a big feast. This was how Thanksgiving started.
To celebrate Thanksgiving the children colored some photos that are hung
in the corridor. They are also going to hear some stories about Thanksgiving
and listen to a PowerPoint presentation.
Here you
can watch a video of a story which explains to you the origins of Thanksgiving
Day and what people do on that day. We hope you enjoy it!
If your level of English is high, you may also
enjoy these articles from the New York Times. You can find information about the
traditions, Black Friday and memorable meals...
