A Thanksgiving Feast of Learning

The Thanksgiving season was the perfect opportunity for the Lower School to explore Native American culture and Thanksgiving traditions. On November 21, Nancy Lewis’s second grade class spoke about the Indian village they created and enjoyed a Wampanoag Feast. The next day, expert John Fishback taught first graders about the ways Native Americans used nature and animals for survival, and kindergartners enjoyed bread made from pumpkins they planted in June and harvested in October.
