2nd Grade Celebrates The First Thanksgiving!
A feast for all! On Thursday, November 19 if one dropped by any of PCA's lower school classrooms they would have seen activities taking place that were centered around the history of the Thanksgiving holiday. But for anyone who walked by the cafeteria, they would have done a double-take as students dressed as Pilgrims and Native Americans for the annual second grade Thanksgiving feast.
Each year the second grade students learn the history behind Thanksgiving and end the unit with a Thanksgiving meal with all the trimmings. The feast is prepared by Chef Bob and his amazing crew of volunteers. After the feast, the classes gathered outside to partake in games that the children of that time period would have played, such as tug of war and swing the ring on the stick.
It was a wonderful time filled with friends, food, fun, and the PCA family.
