Thanksgiving Started When? Videos FUN or Factual? Mouse on the Mayflower

We started with a video that was more factual.
It helped give the kids some background information on Thanksgiving.

History Of Thanksgiving Day

By Studies weekly 

 Before we saw the next video, 
we had a discussion about 
real and fantasy.
The kids knew a mouse telling the story was 
fun but not factual. 

We discussed some characters in the story.
Some were historical and some fiction.

We had a short discussion about one of our freedoms, religious freedom.

We also learned a little about 
New England winters.
 We have a new student from Maine.
First hand accounts are always interesting.

The Mouse on the Mayflower

It was a little long but the kids still enjoyed it.
Hope you do too.
Happy Thanksgiving
