Thanksgiving is an annual holiday in the United States and Canada, celebrating the harvest and other blessings of the past year.
In the United States, on the fourth Thursday of November, Americans gather around tables covered with turkey, potatoes, cranberries, stuffing and more. Over the feast, they share what they’re most thankful for.
The roots of this holiday can be traced back to 1621 with a harvest feast shared by the English colonist (Pilgrims) of Plymouth and the Wampanoag people.
At Rodion Paideia, we celebrate with our own Thanksgiving traditions. On Thursday November 25th, primary school students had the opportunity to engage in Thanksgiving activities and learn about the holiday through educational videos, stories, games such as Thanksgiving Bingo and Roll a Turkey, and crafts such as creating their own Thanksgiving dinner and making Native American inspired feathered headbands.
Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving!
