Extractions: Maryland public school students are free to thank anyone they want while learning about the 17th century celebration of Thanksgiving as long as it's not God. And that is how it should be, administrators say. Young students across the state read stories about the Pilgrims and Native Americans, simulate Mayflower voyages, hold mock feasts and learn about the famous meal that temporarily allied two very different groups. But what teachers don't mention when they describe the feast is that the Pilgrims not only thanked the Native Americans for their peaceful three-day indulgence, but repeatedly thanked God. "We teach about Thanksgiving from a purely historical perspective, not from a religious perspective," said Charles Ridgell, St. Mary's County Public Schools curriculum and instruction director. School administrators statewide agree, saying religion never coincides with how they teach Thanksgiving to students.

Extra Credit for Thanksgiving This tip shows you how to offer some extra credit mixed with a little family interaction. It probably stems from many of my own familys Thanksgivings. When were together at Thanksgiving, Mom and I do the turkey and stuffing, and every other family member also contributes to the meal in some way. I call this tip the Be glad youre not a turkey! extra credit. Heres how it works. I give my students extra credit for helping plan, cook, set the table for, and clean up after the Thanksgiving meal. Since I teach math and science, I have each student bring in a 3 x 5 recipe card with measures and cooking directions (time and temperature) for the dish he or she prepared. Parents also sign off on what the student helped with at home. This activity can link class work to students helping at home, thereby bringing math and science into the real world. Anyone who has ever tried to prepare a Thanksgiving meal can tell you about the considerable time, measurement, planning, and food safety precautions involved.

Extractions: SUBJECT: Thanksgiving letter home from an SM AUTHOR: Marius Asaftei, a Student Missionary of Romanian heritage from Southern Adventist University, spent 10 months as an ADRA volunteer teacher in the jungles of Guyana, South America. Dear family, It's Thanksgiving Day here in Paruima, and since I have some free time and some battery in the computer, I want to let you know how I'm doing. David Gates is flying into Paruima in about two weeks, but I will be in the final exams week, so I won't have that much time to write. It was good to hear your voice on the radio. We were praying for a successful trip to Romania, and I know that your trip was more than successful. I've been thinking about the family there, and the many friends that I have in Romania. I was kind of melancholic about it for a while, but then gave it to the Lord, because it was distracting me from my work. Please send me detailed news from Romania, and how everybody is doing. It will really make me happy! Our group of volunteersour family for one year.

Extractions: More information AN INTRODUCTION FOR TEACHERS This is a particularly difficult introduction to write. I have been a public schools teacher for twelve years, and I am also a historian and have written several books on American and Native American history. I also just happen to be Quebeque French, Metis, Ojibwa, and Iroquois. Because my Indian ancestors were on both sides of the struggle between the Puritans and the New England Indians and I am well versed in my cultural heritage and history both as an Anishnabeg (Algokin) and Hodenosione (Iroquois), it was felt that I could bring a unique insight to the project.
