Molly's Pilgrim

This week we are watching the movie "Molly's Pilgrim", based on the book written my Barbara Cohen. It is story about a young Russian girl, Molly, that is learning to adjust to her new life in America. Molly expresses a desire to return to Russia, caused by children in her class teasing her because she is different. As they prepare for Thanksgiving, and Molly brings in a pilgrim doll that doesn't look like the others in the class, her teacher helps the children to understand why Molly and her contribution is an important part of their class.
