Can you talk like a Pilgrim? Can you cook like a Wampanoag?

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, we have been studying the daily lives of the Pilgrims and Wampanoags of the 1600s.  Second graders have learned some new Pilgrim vocabulary and have discovered some delicious Wampanoag and Pilgrim dishes. 

You can try out these new terms with your second grader:

How now?
Good morrow!
Fare thee well!

Huzzah!
Oh, marry!

Mouser
Arsy varsy

And perhaps you'd like to try some tasty dishes such as Nasaump or Curd Fritters for breakfast or Turkey Sobehag for dinner.
