On Thursday we followed Squanto's suggestions to the pilgrims to use the fish that they caught from the nearby rivers and oceans as fertilzers for their crops. Squanto and other Native Americans played a pivitol role in the survival of the pilgrims. We tried this tip out in our own classroom. Each student planted corn with fish, and some without. We will be charting the growth of the two over the next week or so. We are crossing our fingers that the Gilchrist cat doesn't make another visit to our "crops" over the Thanksgiving holidays.
