I didn't know the history of thanksgiving day, also I didn't know that Abrahan Lincoln declared the thanksgiving day as a national holiday, I didn't know that the first thanksgiving day was forgoten for many years but it was the base for the actual thanksgiving day.
I didn't know the complete history about Thansgiving. Today I learn about the difficult moments that the Pilgrims had, their travel from Europe, and their first months in the new land. I learn the different types of lives between the Pilgrims and the Indias, theirs houses, clothes, chores, schools and more. Also, I learn how they help each other.
I didn't know that Thanksgiving was declarated holiday for the president Lincoln in 1863. And the people have the customs wacthed fottball game in t.v. And in the cities for example the N.Y. the people prepared festival.,the clothed of the pilgrims' was very difficul and the principal object is put together all the family.

Today class was very interesting we learned about Thanksgiving.I din't know anything about this holiday, its very important for me to know a little about holidays in the U.S.I learned about the dinner in Thanksgivin,the story.
I didn't know thanksgiving holiday
has a lot of history.Today I learned some of about it .also learned some grammars,so I feel
good.
I didn't know that the pilgrim's life,school, house, and activities.
In today's computer class,I saw some pictures and a video about pilgrims.That was very funny and interested. I really enjoyed my computer class.
I didn't Know that Cape Cod was in Massachusetts though I had heard about Cape Cod a lot. Cape Cod is the place where Pilgrims finally landed after a tough two-month voyage. I can't imagin how they endured the harsh winter without foods. It's no wonder that they wanted to thank God after next year's big harvest. Also we can find this kind of holiday in many contries such as Chusuk in Korea. We almost forgot how much we are lucky for not worrying about hunger.
I didn't know a lot about Thanksgiving, for example, I didn't know why american people do that, when they start celebrate and how?.
Before, I thought that people celebrate Thanksgiving just to have a fun, but today I read a long story about this habite, and I got a lot of information wich helpt me to understand the history behind this old tradition.
I didn't know that the pilgrims suffered all that much in their voyage ,the storms ,lack of food and the long voyage which made most of them sick.Also ,I know they suffered after they landed. however,I didn't know that they bravely struggled to stay alive.Thank you teachers for your hard work especially the listening part.
I didn't know how long the pilgrimis voyaged in the sea on the mayflower with the crew in the bad weather, how survirved. They didn't know how plant and get harvest, the Indian people taught them, I think that was a hard work for them.
I didn't know that Thanksgiving day wasn't declared an official national holiday until 1789, and at first Thanksgiving was not popular. By the way Thanksgiving day become popular for American people now. I didn't know about history behind thanksgiving day.
"I didn't know that from England to America was more 3,000 miles and the pilegrims was comanded for a ships master,Cristopher Jones he was an experienced skipper.
The pilegrims arrive in the new world during in winter.Making in very difficult for them to find
food, and shelter.
mosth the pilegrims survive,but alot they die.
The native people in America was colled Wampanoag they live in Massasusetts.
When the celebrate the first Thanksgiving they ate separate.
I didn't know the significate of thanksgining day before our class today,all the real history around this holiday is really interesting because is about the foundation of this nation since the pilogrims came here from england,today I learned how was the first winter of all those people in this land,that winter was hard,because almost half of them were died in that time,but the native's help them to be ready for the next year,the native's show them how the can produce their own food,how they can fishing and other expects
of their new life,so in the next winter they have a better time than first so after that the give the thanks to god for all those things,they make a big celebrate,the made some food using native ingredients,so since that time the american people brings thanks to god for that glorius time,so the tanksgiving day is one of the most important holidays in america.
