In our 4th grade Mandarin class, we learned about Thanksgiving, a special holiday celebrated in the United States. Although Thanksgiving is not observed in Asia, there are similar holidays that focus on family and delicious food. For example, the Mid-Autumn Festival celebrates the harvest and brings families together to enjoy mooncakes and other treats. Chinese New Year is another festive occasion where families gather to share meals and honor their ancestors. During our class, we explored the names of traditional Thanksgiving foods, like turkey and pumpkin pie, and even created a fun coloring sheet to celebrate the spirit of togetherness. We all wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! – Gǎn ēn jié kuài lè!
