myths and facts about the first t-giving
On Tuesday I brought a few of my graduate students and one undergraduate to talk with the fifth graders at Emma's school about myths and facts about the first thanksgiving. We had four separate stations where the kids could explore primary sources, language, and general myths about Puritans and the Wampanoag. For the rest of the day the kids had an authentic thanksgiving meal (venison, eel, berries, corn, fish) and then played games that might have been played at the first t-giving.

Boo at the Zoo
This afternoon the kids put on their costumes and we went to Boo at the Zoo. The kids trick-or-treated, went on a hay ride, and walked around to visit our favorite animals (shout out to the red pandas!). It was a beautiful day, in the 70s and very sunny. It doesn't feel like Halloween week. Emma was delighted to meet her favorite radio personality "Alabama" from 97.5. What a day!
