Simple Lessons for Thanksgiving
My parents meandered down from Idaho for the holidays. The time treasured, three years to make up. Lessons pause, yet squirm in my mind.
Thanksgiving is tomorrow; the Pilgrims still haven’t spoken.
That will change as we enjoy our own Thanksgiving play (pdf).
Other ideas for simple lessons:
- Thanksgiving lapbook- links and ideas for creating a paper keepsake
- Thanks and giving tree- add gratitude with this beautiful download
Printing these resources as the turkey thaws, I’m reminded textbooks can’t draw snails or gather hugs. Grandparents can.
(They can also help finish painting your house!)
What are you doing for Thanksgiving? What is your favorite activity or tradition?
Thanks for the link to the Thanksgiving play! We do a play every year. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. This year we acted out the book, SQUANTO, THE MIRACLE OF THANKSGIVING. I love his story! Next year, maybe we’ll do the play you posted. What an adorable find! Happy Thanksgiving!
Those are super links. I was looking for something like that this morning.!
Don’t you just love the flexibility of home schooling? Enjoy your parents! What a blessing!
Thanks for your prayers – we’re feeling much better now!
What fun Thanksgiving ideas – I especially like the play. I’d love to do that when our kids are a bit older.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
Glad you enjoyed the links.
Hope your Thanksgiving Day was full of special memories and recounted blessings!
