Thankful Thursday

Today my class and I talked about the reason we have Thanksgiving. We have learned about the story of the first Thanksgiving, but hadn't talked about how it relates to our Thanksgiving. Today we talked about the word itself: Thanksgiving. Giving thanks.

It was amazing how many of them didn't think about the meaning behind the holiday's name. Loved seeing the lightbulbs go off as they realized.

We brainstormed things we were thankful for (no ipads, please). They were very good about being thankful for special people, places, and events. Thankfully (no pun intended), they left out ipads, computers, and i-whatevers. We sorted wants and needs, read about being thankful, and made a class book "We are Thankful: A Book of Thanks." I plan on copying the class book to send home for Thanksgiving. Next week we're going to make "A Plate Full of Thanks" to show off one thing we're most thankful for.
