Thanksgiving theme

[usmom3]

 Thanksgiving is just around the corner & I thought this would be of interest to those of you that want to teach about the first Thanksgiving or do a theme study for the holiday.

Scholastic usually sponsors a webcast at the Village of Plymouth. It's great. You have to preregister.

 Very cool we will have to keep an eye out so we can post it here so everyone that wants to do it can.

 You must forgive me I have been up sense 5:30 this morning (that is 4 1/2 hour earlier then my normal time) due to my hubby having to be at work at 7am ( his normal time to be at work is 12 noon). So I wasn't thinking when I  posted these links on the 500 things of homeschooling post.
