ThanksGiving School

I am in the midst of planning our Thanks Giving School Week.
I haven't bothered with doing fun holiday school themes for the past few years. I have made it a goal this year to start adding to our school memories.... and holiday units is one way.

Here are a few online, free gems that I am planning on using.

Audrey's Thanksgiving Page
Annie's Thanksgiving games and activities page
Learning Treasures~ Pumpkin Candles
My little Gems~ Coffee Filter Turkey, and Storytime~Turkey with a terrible temper
Learning Treasures~ Thanksgiving Themes
Christian Preschool Printables~ Thanksgiving page
Oriental Trading Company~ A few thanksgiving activities, not free but all ready to go!!
{I also saw many other fun things to consider for our family store!}
I also joined the Live and Learn Press Yahoo group... they have an awesome Thanksgiving Lapbook, and many more too! {some free some not!}
