Last week, we learned about the story of the first thanksgiving with the Pilgrims and the Native Americans. We have looked closely at the life of the Pilgrims and the hardships they faced and made connections to our community unit. Students noticed that the Native Americans showed empathy toward the Pilgrims when life was not going well for them and together they created a community that lived, worked, played, and celebrated life together. As first graders completed a response to the text, they increased their knowledge of complete sentences, and proper punctuation while thinking deeply about the events of the past and how they relate to today.
