Thanksgiving ~ Little Laplinks

I owe it to Valerie over at Little Blots of Faith for inspiring me to get my fanny in gear with creating this blog. I have been wanting to do it for quite awhile now but just didn’t. Her meme “Little Laplinks” got me going! I want to thank all who have commented and emailed me, I am SO glad to be helping even ONE person out by sharing ideas. I miss that so much about teaching (I taught public school K for 5 years), brainstorming with other teachers. Thanks to this blog, I finally feel connected again!

Our theme for the November Little Laplinks is Pilgrims/Thanksgiving and we are right on track, I couldn’t wait to get started teaching my son more about Thanksgiving. Here are my resources for this, and be sure to check back for completed photos of our lapbook. I also do “In the Works” posts as we are working too. It is easy to search on my blog under the “labels” section, to find those posts too (called “Lapbooks in Progress”).

We will be using resources from Mrs. Nelson’s Class website. She has so many great ideas listed, it will be hard to choose!

The Squidoo Thanksgiving Lapbook Lens is GREAT!!! I plan to use tons from here! Definitely the First Thanksgiving Book

We used this version of Pilgrim, Pilgrim.

Enchanted Learning has tons of great printables, we will definitely be using these (and probably more that they have):

Pilgrim mini-book

Thanksgiving mini-book
Thanksgiving quiz

I am still gathering and will be adding to this post, and plan to get ideas from other Laplinks participants! Be sure to check out how Valerie is archiving Laplinks posts, what a wonderful resource!!!
