Thanksgiving preparation

Last week we discussed the upcoming holiday, Thanksgiving. 

First, we made a KWL chart, where we organized what we Know and what we Want to know.  We added the L for what we Learned after reading a story about the first Thanksgiving. 

On another day, we discussed past vs. present by thinking about what the pilgrims have and what we have. 

During a writing lesson, we made a student-generated list of things we eat at Thanksgiving dinner.  One student wrote the word while another drew the illustration. 

Thats: turkey, salad, macaroni, corn, pumpkin pie, cranberries and mashed potatoes ;).
