The slugs were placed in a can and JDanel was guided to the chicken coop. He pushed the slugs through the fence and the chicken rushed over with thankfulness and joy. It was like they were having their own Thanksgiving feast a few weeks earlier. Some of the other children gathered around the pen wanted to know what he had done to get the opportunity to give the chickens slugs.
Happy Thanksgiving!

What a lovely experience. It made me think how children value being involved in real work, when the end result is obvious to them. JDaniel is clearly a hard worker. Happy Thanksgiving!

What an image with the chickens delighting on slugs..as if they were chocolate or something.
Sounds like something Scarlet would love. She has a lot of patience and drive with tasks, such as wheat plucking.
Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving!

How lovely that you are doing such a good job of teaching your son his heritage. I certainly never taught my children like that but then I guess it’s not got the monumental history that America has happy thanksgiving and blessing being sent your way

J Daniel has grown into a wonderful, inquisitive and joyful boy since I last participated in Alphabe`Thursday back in 2011. I so enjoyed your posts then and am glad to reacquaint with both of you again in 2013. He’s such a lucky boy to have a Mom who shares the joy of learning….afterall not many of us have experienced the ‘Joy of Slug Searching’…that is a great lesson.
Happy Alphabe-Thanksgiving-Thursday
