Usually in November I make a big turkey out of construction paper and hang it up, then the whole family writes the things we are thankful for on it throughout the month. This year, I decided to let everyone do their own turkey (except Aaron, Ollie, and I are sharing one). The kids had fun cutting out and gluing the feathers on. We wrote down things we were thankful for and will continue to do so all month long.
Today we started making Thanksgiving books. I got the idea from here. We read a story about the Mayflower, and then we did an art project and wrote a sentence about something we learned about the Mayflower. These will make one of the pages in our book. We'll do other pages about the pilgrims, the Indians, the food, etc. It's going to be fun.
You can tell Lincoln is my child, or my mom's grandchild, because after doing our Mayflower art project, we had snack, and he insisted that he turn his snack into a Mayflower. The goldfish is supposed to be the pilgrim. :)
