When I first learned about Thanksgiving in elementary school, I remember it being a peaceful time where Native Americans and pilgrims had a feast. The pilgrims came across on the Mayflower during the harvest season and met with Native Americans celebrating a new friendship with a huge feast. Native Americans taught the pilgrims how to grow corn and raise live stock in America. When I was in elementary school I remember making crafts and dressing up as Native Americans and pilgrims. One particular event I remember doing in class was coloring cornucopias with all sorts of food in them.We had a huge feast in class and celebrated being thankful for all of the things we had. The main idea of this event was to enjoy time with your family and being thankful for the people and things we have in our lives.
