For SWAP with Ms. Jaysa, We began our rotation by listening to a brief description of the first Thanksgiving at http://www.scholastic.com/scholastic_thanksgiving/feast/ and learned that this Thanksgiving will be the 392nd Thanksgiving since the very first one in 1621. We talked about foods that were eaten at the first Thanksgiving and the students were shown a picture of Indian corn and asked if they knew what it was. We talked about the colors we saw in the picture and how those colors might remind us of fall. Our friend Grayson brought in a box of dried corn stalks and the students got to touch and feel the stalks. Then we made our very own Indian corn using bubble wrap, paint, and real corn husks!
