Thanksgiving is an important holiday in the United States and many other countries, a time to express gratitude, gather with loved ones, and enjoy the good things in life. This year, iWorld Learning in Singapore organized a special Thanksgiving celebration that not only allowed students and teachers to learn but also filled the day with warmth and gratitude.

1. Learn About Thanksgiving Traditions with Our American Teachers
One of the highlights of the event was the Thanksgiving presentation by our American teachers, Sara and Matty. With their extensive teaching experience, they shared the history and cultural background of Thanksgiving. Sara provided an engaging explanation of how Thanksgiving originated in 1621 at Plymouth Colony and evolved into a time for families to reunite, celebrate the harvest, and give thanks. Matty discussed modern-day Thanksgiving celebrations, including family gatherings, the traditional Thanksgiving meal, and the famous football games. Students gained a deeper understanding of the holiday’s unique charm.

2. Crafting a Gratitude Tree: Expressing Thankfulness in Writing
Thanksgiving is all about giving thanks, and at iWorld Learning, we made sure that this gratitude was shared through a symbolic “Gratitude Tree.” Each participant received paper, markers, and stickers to write down things or people they are grateful for. The tree was filled with heartfelt messages from students from various cultural backgrounds, all expressing their gratitude.

This Gratitude Tree became a central feature of the event, and participants not only enjoyed the creative activity but also experienced the power and importance of gratitude. Writing their thoughts in English allowed students to practice their language skills while expressing their inner feelings of thankfulness.

3. Traditional Thanksgiving Feast: Savoring the Warmth of the Holiday
No Thanksgiving celebration is complete without food, and iWorld Learning made sure to offer a delicious holiday feast. Sara and Matty personally prepared traditional Thanksgiving dishes—pumpkin pie and deviled eggs. Pumpkin pie, a classic dessert, was a hit with its rich flavor and smooth texture. Deviled eggs, a beloved American appetizer, also allowed students to taste authentic American flavors.

As they enjoyed these festive treats, students not only immersed themselves in the holiday spirit but also had the chance to engage in conversation with teachers and classmates. Whether through learning English or sharing a meal, everyone felt the warmth of the season and the power of togetherness.

4. International Exchange: Sharing Gratitude Across Cultures
Another highlight of the event was the international cultural exchange session. Students from Japan, Brazil, South Korea, and China shared their own Thanksgiving customs and personal stories in English. This cross-cultural exchange allowed students to broaden their horizons while deepening their understanding of each other’s cultures.

Through these conversations, students not only strengthened their language skills but also developed a deeper sense of empathy and friendship. Together, they expressed their gratitude for the things and people that enrich their lives, whether it’s family, friends, or the opportunity to learn English at iWorld Learning.
