Happy Thanksgiving!
This Tuesday we will be celebrating Thanksgiving with a feast and sharing what we are thankful for. I sent an e-mail with the dish each child will bring based on the responses I received from the letter that was sent home. On Monday I will send home the note again with the dish written on it for each child just to make sure everybody knows what they are bringing.
Turkey Trivia
Ben Franklin thought that the turkey should have been our national bird instead of the eagle.There is fossil evidence that turkeys have been around the Americas for 10 million years!Some people think the turkey got its name from the Indian word for the bird--"furkee". Other people think its name came from the sound that the bird makes--"turk, turk."
Thanksgiving Quotes
The Pilgrims made seven times more graves than huts. No Americans have been more impoverished than these who, nevertheless, set aside a day of thanksgiving.
~H.U. Westermayer
For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes. This is not coincidence.
~Erma Bombeck
Weekly Joke
Why did the Pilgrims want to sail to America in the spring?
Thanksgiving Joke
The pro football team had just finished their daily practice session when a large turkey came strutting onto the field. While the players gazed in amazement, the turkey walked up to the head coach and demanded a tryout. Everyone stared in silence as the turkey caught pass after pass and ran right through the defensive line. When the turkey returned to the sidelines, the coach shouted, "You're terrific!!! Sign up for the season, and I'll see to it that you get a huge bonus." "Forget the bonus," the turkey said, "All I want to know is, does the season go past Thanksgiving Day?"
