Pilgrims writing

I am doing all things Thanksgiving this week. I made  Turkey tally matching cards for my kindergarten and first graders. We are also using them to sort by even and odd. Today we read The Story of the Pilgrims. The students wrote at least one way they were like the Pilgrims or one way they were different. For more advanced students, they made Venn Diagrams to compare and contrast themselves with the Pilgrims.
