每年十一月的第四個禮拜四是西方國家的感恩節。
在Jackson Kids的傳統裡，每年的今天，
我們也會為孩子們舉辦一場感恩節的活動。
一早，家樂福的專車送來最新鮮的烤火雞，
香噴噴的氣味迎面撲來，
為今日的感恩節活動拉開序幕。
首先，各班老師帶著孩子們做感恩節相關的美勞，
有的做印地安帽、有的做楓葉花環、創意火雞、捕夢網…。
接著，阿姨也準備了一桌孩子們喜愛的烤火雞、
義大利麵、紅燒肉、雞塊、花椰菜、什錦三絲湯、
應景水果……當豐盛的感恩午餐。
藉由感恩曲引導孩子們唱出心中的感謝。
2014.11.27的這天，
Jackson Kids全體師長帶著寶貝們，
開心的度過了一個難忘的感恩節。
Children
are curious about Thanksgiving.
“What is
Thanksgiving?” “How did it originate?”
We
celebrate Thanksgiving
on the
fourth Thursday of November every year.
Most stories of Thanksgiving history start
with the
harvest celebration of the pilgrims and
the Native Americans that took place in the
autumn of 1621.
Although
they did have a three-day feast
in celebration of a good harvest,
and the local natives did participate,
this
"first thanksgiving" was not a holiday,
simply a
gathering.
There is little evidence that
this
feast of thanks led directly
to our modern Thanksgiving Day holiday.
Thanksgiving
can, however,
be
traced back to 1863
when
President Lincoln became
the
first president to proclaim Thanksgiving Day.
The
holiday has been a fixture of late November ever since.
However,
since
most American families see
Thanksgiving
to be as important as the Christmas holiday,
it is an important day for families to get
together again.
Many families include
the entire family in the food preparation.
Traditional foods include turkey,
stuffing, gravy, sweet
potatoes, cornbread,
mashed potatoes, and
cranberry sauce.
Many people serve
pie for dessert
at the
end of the meal. Popular pie flavors are pumpkin,
pecan,
sweet potato, and apple.
Today, we celebrate
Thanksgiving at school.
We have the cooks prepare
a delicious turkey for
our lunch.
In addition, the teachers
teach us Thanksgiving vocabulary,
stories and songs. The
children learn
the meaning of Thanksgiving and
also celebrate with their
classmates.
The children are very
happy and enjoy this special day together.
Happy Thanksgiving!!
Song: Five Little
Turkeys
Five little turkeys standing in a
row.
First little turkey said, I don't want to grow.
Second little turkey said, Why do you say that?
Third little turkey said, I want to get fat.
Fourth little turkey said, “Thanksgiving is near.”
Fifth little turkey said, Yes, that's what I hear.
Then the five little turkeys that were standing in a row,
All said together, Come on, let's go!
First little turkey said, I don't want to grow.
Second little turkey said, Why do you say that?
Third little turkey said, I want to get fat.
Fourth little turkey said, “Thanksgiving is near.”
Fifth little turkey said, Yes, that's what I hear.
Then the five little turkeys that were standing in a row,
All said together, Come on, let's go!
