Thanksgiving Dioramas due MONDAY 11/24/08 **
Students were given directions for thier dioramas on Thursday 11/13. We will be studying Native American and Pilgrim life this week in class and they are welcome to use any materials they bring home to enhance their dioramas.
We also viewed a lot of information on the Scholastic website :"The First Thanksgiving". This site gives information for both the Native American and Pilgrim side of this historic event and may be of help when deciding on a particular topic for your diorama as well as what details could really bring your project to life.
Please feel free to browse that here:
