Bookroo's summary
In Mrs. Madoff's class, the Thanksgiving play is underway. Charlie embodies the Mayflower, Sarah steps into a Pilgrim's shoes, and Eveline becomes Chief Massasoit. As each child takes on their role, they discover the importance of gratitude and the historical events that shaped the first feast. With friends and family gathered, the timeless story of Thanksgiving unfolds, reminding everyone of the bonds that endure through tradition. What lessons will the children learn as they bring history to life on stage?
From the publisher
Thanksgiving is almost Here! It’s time for Mrs. Madoff’s class to put on the Thanksgiving play. Charlie is the ship called the Mayflower, Sarah is a Pilgrim, and Eveline is Chief Massasoit. Everyone has a role to play and a reason to be thankful for the special things that made the first feast possible. The story of the first Thanksgiving is one we’ll never forget – especially when we have friends and family to celebrate it with year after year.
