The children had an opportunity on the day before Thanksgiving to see a wonderful presentation on Colonial life presented by Mrs. Badger (our own Ms. Badger's mother). This was a hands-on experience with children getting to crush cinnamon, write on slates, play a ball and cup game, and explore actual Colonial artifacts collected by Mrs. Badger over many years. In preparation, we read Sarah Morton's Day, giving children a chance to discover what a child's day was like during the time around the first Thanksgiving in Plymouth.
