Giving To Others – Over at The Homeschool Village

 

For me, the month of November really symbolizes giving thanks and doing for others. We have had many examples of this throughout history. We celebrate 2 special days in the month that shows us several different groups of people. Veterans Day is an annual United States holiday honoring military veterans.  Throughout the history of the United States, they have given so much to protect the freedoms we now have. We are able to worship and school our children, to name a couple.  


The Thanksgiving holiday tradition traces its origins to a 1621 celebration at Plymouth in present day Massachusetts.  The thanksgivings and feast was due to a good harvest.  While the Plymouth colony did not have a enough food to feed half of the colonists, the Native Americans helped the Pilgrims by providing seeds and teaching them to fish.
