These are the vocabulary cards, game, and some of the worksheets we will use. This is a product that I sell on TPT. It comes in both English and Spanish.

We also started writing about things we are thankful for. I gave each kid a feather and they had to write what they are thankful for. As you can tell, my turkey is still missing some feathers, but I'm hoping my kids will finish this tomorrow!
The day before Thanksgiving break, we are going to have a Thanksgiving Feast. We are going to eat together as a grade level. Some classes will be Indians, some will be Pilgrims, and others will be turkeys.
I used to love being the indians because my kids used to earn feathers for their headdresses for displaying positive behaviors or for doing random acts of kindness. The student with the most feathers became the "Chief" and he/she was the one getting the 1st meal of Thanksgiving! However, not many teachers from my team know how to make the coif for the girls, so we will be pilgrims. I might make some kind of badges that the students can earn for displaying good behavior.
On Thursday we are going have a super fun activity with our reading buddies. They will have to create costumes to disguise their turkey so it won't get eaten this Thanksgiving. They will have to choose a character from a book as their inspiration. I cannot wait to see their creations!!!
