The First Thanksgiving


Goals I Targeted:
- WH Questions
- Main Idea
- Details from text
- Vocabulary Identification
- Vocabulary Associations
- Categories
- Describing
- Sequencing

For the week before Thanksgiving I selected an easy book about the 1st Thanksgiving that can be printed online for free. After reading the book once, I went back and asked each student questions as we went.

After the book, we played a matching game with the Thanksgiving vocab used in the book. This game allowed for describing the vocab, making associations between words, and other goals. Plus, any amount of competition from a game really gets the students motivated to work.

Drink of the Day: Since I have to have energy to pack and get on an airplane today, black coffee is my drink of choice!
