Where did my passion and love for THANKSGIVING start from?
Well... it goes back in time.
It was 2006 and I traveled to BOSTON for the first time and I fell in love.
I had never been to New England and little did I know about that area.
I was visiting friends and I lived in the area for a month. I took the chance to visit some of the places that I had studied in the books and that's where and how the magic happened.
I visited Salem, Cape Cod and Plymouth with the Plimoth plantation.
PLIMOUTH PLANTATION
I visited the Plantation which has been recreated and I talked to the actors which were perfectly retelling the story, even by using an Old British accent.
I loved every single moment of that experience and I would recommend it to anyone visiting the area. I went to take a look the the famous Plymouth rock which is.... just a rock!
I bought books, realia and I was so fascinated by this story that I have been telling my students about Thanksgiving since the day I got back.
These are some of the books I usually use in class:
The best piece I have the Mayflower compact replica. My students love holding it and trying to read it.
These are just a few things I usually use to talk about Thanksgiving and after having heard and read and watched something about this historical celebration, we are usually going to enjoy a few treats!
White chocolate and cranberry cookies
Cranberry juice
Turkey club sandwich
Thank you,
Miss Alex
