Dia de Gracias

Your students will love celebrating Thanksgiving with this complete unit. Begin with a reproducible Pilgrim cover that, when stapled to blank paper and cut out, makes a great writing book for all kinds of stories or reports. The unit also includes two pages of reproducible flash cards featuring pictures and vocabulary words, along with a list of exciting games and activities you can do with the cards. We have included a Reader's Theater version of the story of the First Thanksgiving, complete with stick puppets and paper bag puppets from the story so that the students can act it out as a play!  Your students will delight in making a diorama with Pilgrims, Native Americans and even the Mayflower!

There are patterns for thematic shaped stationery: a colorful turkey and a giant-sized Mayflower on which your students can write about what they are thankful. Also included are Pilgrim art figures and a color-by-number turkey! A calendar for the month of November completes the holiday unit.
