Just a boring post compiling several resources I used to discuss the Thanksgiving story with Caleb during our preschool time. Thankfully, Caleb already had heard (and retained) the story with a great lego retelling at his preschool co-op. (I love that he’s beginning to share what he does in his classes!)
Thanksgiving bracelets Sophia got to make these as well. Both the kids made multiple bracelets because Ava needed one too. :)
Pilgrim Pilgrim What do you see?
Sponge boat craft: sponge + straw + triangle of foam = bath time boat
Paper/shape boat This was a great continuation of math, since Caleb’s in the middle of the “shape” unit.
Squanto This stretched Caleb’s attention span, but he picked up most of the story.
Thank you notes (which I still need to get in the mail!)
Sorting thankful thoughts (16 food, 13 fun/toys, 3 people)—We added some more people after this activity!
Placing the story disc on the world map. Since this wasn’t part of our Five in a Row curriculum, Caleb got to draw own version of the Mayflower. I especially love his rendition of the United States flag he felt he needed to add.
