There was so much to learn about our forefathers, the Pilgrims, and their hardships. This subject gave the smaller ones many interesting things to draw and cut, while the third and fourth grades were busy reading and writing compositions per­ taining to Thanksgiving. During the month all of the children took part in dramatizing"The First Thanksgiving." They also learned many appropriate poems and songs. These were used for a little program given the day be­ fore Thanksgiving. After the pro­ gram the children played "The First Thanksgiving" in a delightful way. They wore paper caps, kerchiefs, col­ lars and cuffs to represent Pilgrim men and women. We also had a real Samoset and his Indian friend with us. After this, both visitors and children enjoyed a Thanksgiving party, and later played games. We regret that more of the mothers did not come to the program. Their presence encour­ ages the children more than anything else. Those present were Mrs. Allen, Misses Clara Salow and Lucy Benson, also Mi's. F. Peterson and Eleanor Nel­ son of Crystal Lake. Among our Thanksgiving decorations was a Pil­ grim and Indian village, with the May­ flower in the harlior. The houses, w igwams, Indians and Pilgrims were made by the children. The Wednesday before Thanksgiv­ ing the four upjK'r grades enjoyed a party, in which pies, candy and all kinds of fruit formed the feast. Sto­ ries were told and the grades went down to the primary room to listen to the program. WAIiKUP SCHtX>L, DIST. NO. 77. Third month. The monthly grades of each pupil were very good.
