Mission
Activity

The past weeks you have cooked all the food that you have. You go and sit down at the table with all of your friends and family, what do you see? On a paper plate draw what is included in "The First Thanksgiving" meal! Click here to explore what you are eating! Mission Steps 2. Click here to get more information about what they ate on that very special day. 3. On a paper plate draw everything that family and friends ate on Thanksgiving Day! 4. Color the food the color that is actually is. Please label the foods so it is easier for your classmates to see what you have learned. 5. I hope that you successfully completed the mission. Now you can share all your new information with your friends and family! |
