10 minutes<br />
What Have We Already Learned?<br />
Note: Prior to the lesson, it is recommended that you add the lyrics<br />
for the new verse below to the Pilgrims Song Chart. Post Image<br />
Card 18 (Landing at Plymouth Rock) above the new verse.<br />
Show image 8A-2: Landing at Plymouth Rock<br />
Review the previous read-aloud in which the Pilgrims landed<br />
at Plymouth Rock, working hard to build a new colony. Remind<br />
students that you will start off each day by repeating the song<br />
from the day before, to review what they have learned. As you<br />
point to Image Card 18, sing the following to the tune of “I’m a<br />
Little Teapot,” and then have them sing it with you a second time:<br />
I am Plymouth Rock and some folks say<br />
The Pilgrims stepped on me one day.<br />
Don’t know if that’s true but I do know<br />
That I’m the place where tourists go.<br />
Purpose for Listening<br />
<strong>Tell</strong> students that the title of today’s read-aloud is “Thanksgiving.”<br />
<strong>Tell</strong> them that today they are going to hear a story about what<br />
many people consider to be the first Thanksgiving in America.<br />
They should listen carefully to find out who celebrated the first<br />
Thanksgiving and why we still celebrate Thanksgiving in America<br />
today.<br />
