Today we got a Thanksgiving Spelling list because next week is too short to do it :). We talked about what the word "cornucopia" means. We found out that in latin Cornu means "horn" and copia means "plenty". That is where we get the term "horn of plenty." The cornucopia comes from greek mythology, but today it symbolizes Thanksgiving and the harvest. I found a video on the web showing how to make a cornucopia for decoration. I am going to try to get it on the blog.
