Today Sarah and I gave the presentation jointly in second grade (lots of paraphrasing and acting out...). They loved it! And I was pleased that the little worms held still for nearly all of it. When we asked what they were thankful for, my favorite answer was "milk!" :) ...Got milk? I gave the "full" presentation in sixth grade, complete with pumpkin cookies to sample--they ate it up! (ha ha ha)
After visiting the Norman Rockwell Museum in MA last Feb., I couldn't resist using his painting for the title slide. Remember that, mom? Still, the kids' favorite picture was of course the Simpsons' family Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Great show Opie! Moe could adapt this to explain Thanksgiving to her classmates! It would be nice to add how the formal holiday got started. President Lincoln designated a day of thanks and prayer to help people in the country deal with the American Civil war. Check out this link. http://www.infoplease.com/spot/tgproclamation.html
