Thank you, Sarah: The Woman Who Saved Thanksgiving


We the people of the United States.....

almost LOST Thanksgiving!?!

Yes. That's right!

Way back when "skirts were long and hats were tall" Americans were forgetting Thanksgiving, and nobody seemed to care!

Thankfully, Sarah Hale appeared. More steadfast than Plymouth Rock, this lady editor knew the holiday needed saving. But would her recipe for rescue ever convince Congress and the presidents?

While reading THANK YOU, SARAH!, we completed a categorize & classify activity. We recorded WHO she was, WHAT she did, HOW she did it, and interesting facts.
