Ways to Include Thanksgiving Into Your Classroom
Thanksgiving is coming and
here are some of the fun and thoughtful ways to bring in holidays into your
classroom that your students will enjoy.
One of the most engaging ways
to learn at school, for both teachers and students, is celebrating holidays in
the classroom. The month of November is short due to the holidays coming up,
which also creates a busy time at school and home. Yet you want to make this
time fun and academic for your students.
This is a great time to
teach gratitude, kindness, friendship, and community. I have attached an activity
you can do with your students. Click on this link if you are wanting Thanksgiving Classroom Activities.
You can print the pages front to back or on separate pages. You
have 2 choices for printing on the backside. Your students can draw and label
or draw and write. Allow them time to do this.
If you are wanting to study some of the histories behind
Thanksgiving you can do a webquest.
Scholastic has several good activities to choose from. Click on the link.
Host a canned/boxed food drive and donate the food items to
the neighborhood Food Bank.
Do an acrostic poem using the letters in the word Turkey.
Brainstorm words that begin with the sound of each letter in
Thanksgiving.
Have some Kindergarten Math fun with this packet!
There is so much more you can do with your students. Thank you
for following me and reading my newsletters.
May you have a safe and blessed Thanksgiving!
