In history this week we learned about Squanto, his life and a little bit about the things he taught to the pilgrims. For a fun snack, we planted corn like Squanto taught the pilgrims to do!! :) 1. First, you layer your cup with "soil." (chocolate pudding and crushed oreos.) 2. Next, you add the "corn." (candy corn.) 3. To help the corn grow, you add "fish" to help fertilize the corn.
