Free Thanksgiving Unit Study Lesson Plan & Printables

Thanksgiving 2010 (with handmade shirts)

Gathering resources from all over the internet and from our local library, I have pulled together a Thanksgiving Unit Study that I hope will be as much fun as the Pumpkins! Unit Study.

The study includes four days of active study with each day focusing on a different aspect of the holiday:

• Monday ~ The History of Thanksgiving
• Tuesday ~ The Pilgrims & the Native Americans
• Wednesday ~ All About Turkeys (and their role in Thanksgiving)
• Thursday ~ Giving Thanks to God

Then, I have a list of projects that I will scatter throughout the week and probably through to Thanksgiving week.
