the Israelites in slavery

When I did the Activity I imagined that I was one of the workers making bricks for the pyramids. I made the bricks out of grass, water and paper clay. Paper-clay is clay that hardens by itself you don't need to bake it. First you need to mix all the ingredients together, then you need to mix it with your hands. It might get a little dirty. After that you need to sculpt it into rectangular shapes. And you just need to let them dry overnight. I think when making hundreds and thousands of this you won't get to spend time with you family because you will be working day and night. When the bricks dry, you can paint them. And then you can make any building out of your made bricks.

History of Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving begins when President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed the last thursday of November to be a day of giving thanks and praise to God and his only son. This proclamation day was held on the civil war on October 3rd, 1836. The very first thanksgiving was held on 1621 by the Pilgrims. They invited Native Americans to join them and to eat what they harvested from their crops. We still celebrate thanksgiving today with turkey, stuffing, potatoes, pumpkin pie and cranberry sauce. In some countries, they celebrate their thanksgiving with a parade held on or around thanksgiving day. Some people take a four day weekend. It is called a 4 day weekend because they usually take a vacation the day after Thanksgiving. This holiday is celebrated because we want to give thanks for what we have and for the blessings that God gave us.
