It's Thanksgiving Day! The turkey is in the oven, and everyone's getting ready to gather for the celebration.

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.
