QUOTE OF THE DAY:
"Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them,
is the true measure of our Thanksgiving."
- W.T. Purkiser
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
1. ACTIVITY OF THE DAY
STRING OF LEAVES:
http://www.EnchantedLearning.com/crafts/thanksgiving/string/
Beyond the usual Thanksgiving turkey and corn decorations,
why not try a string of colorful leaves for your class-
room windows and walls? Students will draw their own
leaves on construction paper--use fall colors--cut them
out, fold the stems over the string and glue them on.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
2. THEMATIC UNITS
CELEBRATING THANKSGIVING:
http://www.sbcss.k12.ca.us/sbcss/specialeducation/ecthematic/thanksgiving/
A secondary emphasis for this thematic unit for early
childhood is on foods. Sample lesson plans are includ-
ed, as well as bulletin board ideas and related games
and activities.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
3. TECHNOLOGY AND TOTS
CARVE A PUMPKIN:
http://www.primarygames.com/holidays/halloween/carving/start.htm
Preschool students get a chance to carve their very
own pumpkins--online, that is... Drag and drop the
various face parts to create your own individualized
pumpkins; Java required.
