Sharing our feast (written by Mrs. Howard and her class)

On Friday Room 1 had a Thanksgiving feast. We invited our parents and grandparents to eat with us. Many were able to come for lunch. At the feast we ate chicken, rolls, carrots, mashed potatoes and gravy, and green beans. We made the butter for the feast. We shook glass jars filled with whipping cream and salt during Read-Aloud. After a lot of shaking the cream turned into solid butter. We had been reading Little House in the Big Woods and Ma made butter every week in a churn. We wanted to try to make it too. The butter was delicious with our rolls at the feast. For dessert we enjoyed pumpkin bars and  butterscotch cupcakes. The feast was a special time to share a meal with our parents and grandparents, whom we are very thankful for in our lives. The Thanksgiving feast is a special tradition in Room 1 that no one else does. After the feast was over some of us shared our Thanksgiving poems with our parents. The poems are on display in the hallway today and tomorrow too.
