blondeviolin Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Let's share resources that might be fun to use for those of us planning on doing a bit of a Thanksgiving type unit study. Scholastic's website for the First Thanksgiving History Pockets - Life in Plymouth and Native Americans How to Make Greeting Cards - Turkey cards could be fun. Easy Make and Learn Projects: Pilgrims, Mayflower and More Plimoth.org The Pilgrims of Plimoth Who's that Stepping on Plymouth Rock? American Experience: We shall Remain. The first part is particularly pertinent. Discovery Streaming here, Netflix streaming here William Bradford: The First Thanksgiving America: The Story of Us The first part of this miniseries is on the colonies. BrainPOP Jr. has a video on Thanksgiving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorrainejmc Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 My kids make me do Thanksgiving every year, even though it isn't celebrated here. So, we are rowing Cranberry Thanksgiving along with P is for Pilgrim. We will make the cranberry bread of course, and pumpkin pie, then throw some turkey in the crockpot on Thanksgiving morning while we spend the day at an outdoor living history museum (Ireland to USA emigration) where there will be a reenactment of an early Thanksgiving and food to sample. We are using the Evan Moor November theme pocket, First Thanksgiving. It also includes a Native Americans theme pocket and the museum we are going to currently has a Native American exhibition also, so we will fit that in too and do that theme pocket next.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wy_kid_wrangler04 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Well, so far I have the following books checked out of 4 libraries :lol:: The First Thanksgiving by Lou Rogers The Thanksgiving Story by Alice Dalgliesh Turkeys, Pilgrims and Indian Corn: The Story of the Thanksgiving Symbols Crafts for Thanksgiving This is the Feast The Story of Squanto First Friend of the Pilgrims The Thanksgiving Book The Plymouth Colony Now, I am probably not going to do all those books. I have to go through them and see what ones I want to use and how. Plus we are going to use the What Your 2nd and What your 3rd Grader Needs to Know. PWe have the American: Story of Us dvd's that I need to look at and see if we will use and we will be using the Scholastic website that was linked by a pp. Plus any other good videos linked by pp that I didn't know about ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
