Happy Thanksgiving Students! This week we will be celebrating the American holiday of Thanksgiving. The first Thanksgiving happened in 1621 when the Plymouth Bay colony in Massachusetts celebrated the autumn harvest with their Native American brethren. Every year, on the second to last Thursday in November, Americans celebrate this day of thanks with family and friends. Although during the first Thanksgiving, lobsters were probably the food of choice, as they were abundant in the area, the traditional meal for Thanksgiving dinner is turkey. People also get creative when cooking Thanksgiving dinner though. A “tur-duck-in” is a chicken that is cooked inside a duck, that is cooked inside a turkey, and eaten all together. For my holiday, I traveled to my grandmother’s house for Thanksgiving. She always makes the most delicious dessert for me, chocolate pudding pie. I also enjoy spending quality time with my family and telling funny stories from holidays past.
Celebrated- to show joy over something
Abundant- to have more than enough of
Traditional- Something that stays the same
Delicious- Great tasting
Quality- things of good substance
*GRAMMAR POINT: All holidays and countries should be capitalized as they are proper nouns.
Exercise: Write a paragraph post on a Traditional holiday of your culture. Be sure to tell us how you celebrate!
