Last week´s Thanksgiving

Last Thursday we celebrated Thanksgiving. It is a  typical festival from United States in which the families get together to eat Turkey and other dishes and give thanks for all the good things in their lives.

Elefteria and Rejena come from USA, so they prepared the activity. 

First, they showed us a presentation about the origins of Thanksgiving and what they usually do at home during this special day.

Then, we paired with the fifth graders to practise the structure:

I am thankful for...

Each pair had a feather and we had to write the things we are thankful for: having a family and having friends, being healthy, having a house and food to eat...we are privileged for all the wonderful things in our lives!

The fifth graders were really nice, they helped us a lot. It´s good to get to know each other better!
