Wonderful Writing Activity

I am so grateful for this wonderful addition to our week of Thanksgiving homeschooling! I learned alongside my children so many new things and loved how the writing prompts were organized by topics that built on each other. It is a thorough and thoughtful Thanksgiving Unit as it is historical and allows the learners to consider the perspective and experiences of many who were a part of this time in history. My only suggestion would be to include several picture books for each day for each topic instead of just one picture book as I wasn't able to obtain several of them because they were too expensive or not able to ship to me on time.
(I also couldn't find links to these books being read aloud on Youtube.) Since a list of suggested Thanksgiving books is included in the curriculum guide, please consider having more titles paired with each day to help guide parents and ensure more obtainable books are suggested per topic. Thank you for this beautiful and rich resource!

Just what I wanted for this time of year!

It is thoughtful and charming. I will have this for many years to build up comprehension, and I'm able to adapt to a wide age range. Thank you so much for this beautiful study!

Beautiful and Well Rounded

This curriculum is a wonderfully varied and deep way to work with content connected to Thanksgiving. It is easy to use and adapt to the child/children you are working with at any given time. I used some of it with my 1st grade class this year and I look forward to incorporating even more of it next year.

Pleasantly surprised

I've taught many holiday units and this was my first time trying this one. I was pleasantly surprised. It's hard to find a combination of rich content and simple execution. I enjoy the day laid out the way it is written.
