Just a note...in Canada,Thanksgiving is on the second Monday in October and is related to the European harvest festivals and traditions of the early settlers.
I just did this with my second years. Great lesson for the week. Thank you!
Did this for my classes today and the JTE said it was a great powerpoint! Thankful for you!
Just a note to those who want to use this ppt, Thanksgiving falls on the 4th Thursday in America, not the last. It is the 23rd this year.
