Last week, we read The First Thanksgiving and The Story of the Pilgrims. We identified important events in the story and sequenced them on Friday.
Today, we created bracelets to help us tell the story. We decided to use certain colors of beads to signify events in the story.
Here are the colors of beads we chose and their significance:
- One brown bead to represent the Pilgrims leaving England for religious freedom
- A white bead to represent the sails on the Mayflower
- Three blue beads to represent the LONG trip over the ocean
- One green bead for when the Pilgrims finally saw land
- One clear bead and three white beads to represent the long, cold, terrible winter (clear for ice and white for snow)
- 1 green for winter turning to spring
- 1 brown for the Native Americans befriending the Pilgrims
- 3 beads to represent food at the first Thanksgiving feast (red for cranberries, yellow for corn, orange for pumpkin)
We agreed that these colors helped us to remember the story, so we created our bracelets. Here are a few pictures of us making our bracelets.
Tomorrow, we will use our bracelets to help us tell a friend the story of the First Thanksgiving at our Kindergarten celebration. We will also bring our bracelets home tomorrow so that we can tell you the story of the first Thanksgiving!
