Mrs. Abraham put a transparency of indian symbols on the overhead projector and we got to choose symbols to draw and words to write on our drum cover.

Thursday we made a bracelet that has different color beads to represent elements of the First Thanksgiving.
White- the sails on the Mayflower
Blue- the ocean
Green- the Pilgrims saw land
Black- the first year was very hard
Brown- the turkey the Pilgrims and Indians ate at the Firsty Thanksgiving
Red- cranberries they ate
yellow- corn they ate
orange- pumpkin or sweet potato pie
Thursday afternoon we made our noodle necklaces. We will wear them at our pow-wow tomorrow, and it also helps us improve our fine motor skills. Stringing noodles on a piece of yarn takes concentration and practice!
Thanksgiving Feast & Pow Wow
Indian Naming Ceremony: The students each got an Indian name and a special necklace and name tag. The students loved being called their Indian name during the day!
Here you see the drumming lesson. The drums were so much fun- but before we could play, Mrs. Abraham told us about how the Indians used drums to make music, and how they used the drums in special ceremonies.
After the drumming lesson we had our feast where we enjoyed ham, turkey, popcorn, corn, deer jerkey, sweet potato pie, and pumpkin pie.
There were lots of parents and grandparents that joined in and were a HUGE help to Mrs. Abraham and Mrs. Moran!
Once the feast was over, we drummed through the hallways!
