Want to bring a little hands-on learning into your Thanksgiving lesson?  The Growing in Pre-K blog has an amazing post about growing Indian Corn and making butter.



Did someone say FIELD TRIP?  Scholastic has a virtual field trip that includes stepping aboard an exact replica of the Mayflower, a behind-the-scenes look at the life of Pilgrims, the day-to-day life of the Wampanoag people, or you might even choose from 12 Reader's Theater ideas.


Happy Thanksgiving!
