⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️This was really great for my class. They worked on it almost independently. It led to great discussions on how much work ACTUALLY goes into preparing Thanksgiving. I enjoyed getting to connect with my students while they worked. Really great. Thank you! - 7th & 8th Grade Teacher
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I used this with my grade 4/5 class through distance learning. They loved planning out their Thanksgiving and we had some really great conversations about their expectations vs. reality when it comes to organizing a big meal like this. I even had a parent message me to tell me they loved this project and they were having such good conversations around it at home. I LOVED the use of informational text through recipes! -4th | 5th | Grade Teacher
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I used this with my 4th grade students. Each student planned a Thanksgiving dinner on a budget, created a menu, designed and made center pieces, and practiced table etiquette! We had a mini Thanksgiving lunch with a special guest from the school to show what we learned! The students LOVED it! - 4th Grade Teacher
