Mission
Activity Let's
pretend that we are Pilgrims! We are having our very first
Thanksgiving dinner, and we really want to invite the Indians to dinner
because we appreciate them so much for helping us! But...what do they
eat? What should we have for dinner? We are going to make a menu and
send out
invitations. We will design invitations to send the Indians ourselves!
On the invitations, we will draw the food we are going to serve...just
to give them an idea!
