The head of Window on America center Dnipropetrovsk Svitlana Usenko had a meeting with students of local school No. 39 and English teacher Victoria, who is a WOA’s long time partner. Meeting was dedicated to the topic «Pilgrims and Thanksgiving».Were introduced to the traditions of a favorite American Holiday – the Thanksgiving Day.
The focus of slide show was on the history of the holiday. The children learned about the Pilgrims who disembarked on the American coast (the territory of the modern Massachusetts state) and the lovely “Mayflower” ship that brought them over the ocean. After several centuries Thanksgiving is a US national holiday and the most popular family holiday. It is normally celebrated with an array of festive activities - sports events, concerts and parades.
The session was very educational.
