Happy Thanksgiving with a Quick Lesson!

This year for a quick and easy lesson, I showed a quick video about thankfulness by Kid President. Next, we discuss what thankfulness even means. Children aren’t certain on this I have come to realize from listening to their answers. Next, I have students draw pictures of certain things they are thankful for that I can describe such as these…

Name something you are thankful for

1.that is red.

2.that is in the shape of a triangle.

3.that is scratchy. (usually kids want a description of scratchy)

4.that is soft.

5.that is the shape of a triangle.

6.that you can’t see.

7. that makes you happy.

8. that makes your teacher happy.

Add to these or change them around and make them your own. This is sure to make your students brain juices flow!
