1) To incorporate my Thanksgiving Read the Room activity into our stations! It's only $1 at my TPT store!
Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving is adorable too. A class goes on a field trip to Farmer McNugget's farm and when they realize what will happen to the turkeys they sneak them out of the farm! Years ago when I taught first grade we did a version of this as our first grade play. It's sweet and the kids love that it all rhymes.
3) I haven't done a single turkey craft yet! YIKES! I've been so behind this year and so worried about my evaluation that I didn't want to risk sneaking in something fun, even if I did add it into a lesson, because that's how nit-picky things are this year. {sigh}
4) We haven't learned ANY Thanksgiving songs. I have a few in my Pumpkin Spice unit. They're goodies from back in the day!
5) We haven't watched Charlie Brown Mayflower Voyagers. You can purchase the movie from Amazon but it's only in VHS and it's like $Ridiculous. OR you can purchase the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving DVD for less than $10 and it includes the Mayflower Voyagers. I usually watch it after I read nonfiction books about the pilgrims and their voyage and the first Thanksgiving.
So I changed fonts on some of my units that were posted last year, but TPT is not loading thumbnails. BOOOO.
Hang in there folks! My last day before Thanksgiving break is Friday! Woop woop! And if I EVER find my cord to my camera again I have a few pics to upload!
I love the Charlie Brown DVD & The Mayflower Voyagers is such a perfect story to teach the kids! It's one of the best out there!
