Bree Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I know it is a little early but I usually wait till last minute and never do anything to teach about the holidays. Anyway, could you ladies give me some inspiration :) Thinking a good unit study or maybe just some good books and crafts. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 There are lots of good books, but I've always like NC Wyeth's Pilgrims. And Thank You Sarah (I think that's the title) is a good modern history of Thanksgiving book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyerin Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I like what this mama has done and plan to start there, and tweak as we see the need: http://everydaysnapshots.blogspot.com/2011/11/thanksgiving-unit-for-early-elementary.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
threeturn Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Erin - So glad you like the unit study! We may have to pull it out again this year. There were so many activities we didn't get to last year and others I bet they would like to do again. Thanks for linking it up. Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at so many Tgiving unit studies and all of them were too lapbooky. We don't do lapbooks. :lol: I just checked all of the books you recommended out of the library so I can preview them and see what all we want to do. I'm excited!

rachelpants Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I've been meaning to thank you for this thread...I've gotten a lot of great ideas from the link! I have some ideas on my pinterest boards (although I'm still planning too) Sometime near the beginning of November we will learning about Native Americans (using What your Kindergartner Needs to Know). I'm also planning on doing something with "Cranberry Thanksgiving" for FIAR, although I haven't planned it yet. I have a lot of Thanksgiving crafts and other books pinned that might work for you. http://pinterest.com/kindyhomeschool/history-native-americans/ http://pinterest.com/kindyhomeschool/fiar-vol-1-cranberry-thanksgiving/ http://pinterest.com/kindyhomeschool/thanksgiving/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbgrace Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I have lessons I used (very hands on) as history lessons in a unit covering the Wampanoag, Pilgrims, etc. in my blog here http://learningsharingcaring.blogspot.com/2011/08/us-history-plans.html I haven't checked all my links yet this year to make sure none are dead but we had a great time with that unit.
