Thanksgiving Day

Los alumnos de 3º bilingüe estuvieron escuchando la historia del día de Acción de Gracias.

Americans celebrate Thanksgiving Day on the 4th Thursday of November. Stephanie Williams, our American cultural assistant talked to our students about this festivity. She told them about settlers and their harvest, about the help they received from the Native Americans. She mentioned Abraham Lincoln as the first president to recognize this as a national holiday. Today many people volunteer to help others. It is a day of love and peace. There are parades in many cities. Students read a poem for kids, then in pairs, they wrote a few lines to compose poems of their own.
