UNS Lapa - Thanksgiving dinner

Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday, but there is a lot of meaning to it more than just turkey and pumpkin pie. The day is about giving thanks for all of our blessings and remembering all of the good things in our life. Many people thank God and bring a religious aspect to the day while others who are not religious simply set the day aside to give thanks.

The family and friends present at a Thanksgiving table are not expected to give gifts to each other, for example, and the point of the meal is to reflect upon and be thankful for the things that have passed over the last year as well as reconnect with the people one holds close.

Because of that we decided to try to bring the Thanksgiving spirit to UNS Lapa. On November 27th we invited students to talk more about this special moment. Here we could share our thanks and talk about dishes, tradition during the presentation of videos and songs related to that.

Afterwards students who brought some kinds of food could share in another special moment of our class.
