First Thanksgiving

Memory Verse: This memory card is for daily use during our calendar time.  You can learn more about calendar time at 1+1+1=1 or Homeschool Creations.  Our weekly devotional is an object lesson that will help your child apply the meaning of the verse to them.

Day 1: 
Pilgrim Word Book- Teaches your child how letters are linked to sounds to form letter-sound correspondence.

Mayflower Number Maze-  This activity will help your child practice counting whole numbers 1-10 in order by 1s.

Pilgrim Hat Craft-  Have fun pretending to be a pilgrim or learning about pilgrim dress by creating one of these pilgrim hats from Kaboose:

• Girl Pilgrim Bonnets
• Boy Pilgrim Hats

         

Day 3:
Thanksgiving Spelling- Helps your child begin to recognize that when letters are combined they form words.  We used letter tilesfor this activity, but scrabble pieces work well too.

Roll a Graph: Thanksgiving Dinner– This activity will introduce your child to data collection and interpretation.  Once you’ve completed the graph (first food item to 10), make sure to ask simple questions.  Such as, “Which color is taller? What food item is that?  Which color is shorter? Which food is that? How many times did we give the (food item) a sticker?”  Make sure to show them how to use the graph, instead of just counting the stickers.

Special thanks to Just So Scrappy for some of the graphics.
