week 14-Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a unique American holiday when we celebrate the first Europeans (called pilgrims) who came to America. They worked hard to live and survive here so that they could have freedoms they didn't have before. In 1621, the Pilgrims decided to have a big feast of food and invite the Native American Indians who had helped them so much. Each year we get together with our families to give thanks. This week's question is to tell us what you are thankful for. I'm thankful for my husband, kids, family and friends who I'm on this journey through life with and enjoying every minute of it.

Week 13

What interesting holidays you all have in your countries. I hope that you enjoy our next holiday here, Thanksgiving. For this week's paragraph topic, tell us about one interest that you have and where that interest came from. For example, you all know that I love to play tennis and compete on tennis teams. That interest came from my childhood. Both of my parents played tennis, and I enjoyed learning to play and then being able to play with them. I have a competitive spirit from my Dad, so tennis is a way I can continue to compete even as an adult.

Week 12 Question

Thanks for all your recommendations about things to see in your countries. I hope to visit them all! This week I want you to write a paragraph describing a custom or holiday from your culture that is probably unfamiliar to someone from America.
