Thanksgiving Lapbook - The Beginning

Thanksgiving School began today. I decided on a lapbook project rather than cobble together my own resources. SOOOOO glad that I did. Overheard: "This is so much fun" and "I like this better than math" (which was immediately followed by counting three groups of three. Haha! I'm so sneaky at working in math - they didn't even notice!)

We started off with this book:


Pilgrim's First Thanksgiving by McGovern


We learned about the 5Ws. The children answered W questions about Thanksgiving.


And we did lots of cutting and pasting. These became pop-up questions/answers regarding the Pilgrims.

The kids are looking forward to tomorrow's projects. I am, too. I think I'll be incorporating lapbooks into their studies more often!
