The Wampanoag showed the Pilgrims how to dig for

An old sketch of an American eel for the Thanksgiving-themed as eels were among the fish eaten by the Wampanoag people of Massachusetts. While eels were once abundant along the Atlantic coast, they - like other migratory fish - were impacted by dams.

This week's theme is special to me. We are ending our 3rd year of the hashtag and beginning our 4th! I can't believe how much this community has grown. I begin each year drawing an Opah and I hope you join me in this tradition.

Off-theme this week as E. will struggle with mascots but he wanted to show people what we finished today. To help him learn his alphabet, we've all been working together on drawing a sea-life A-Z poster. He chose the animal for each letter and he drew 3 of them.
