For the next couple of weeks, we will be forgoing a fictional, chapter-book read-aloud and focusing our afternoon reading time on a handful of Thanksgiving-themed books. Although a few of the books I've chosen are beginner-style chapter books, most are lengthy picture books that give a LIVING look at various pieces and parts of the holiday and its beginnings.

Here's my list in alphabetical order...

Need more ideas for a Thanksgiving unit? Be sure to check out my list of all-time-favorite Thanksgiving chapter books and read how I've purposed to keep this holiday un-cluttered.
My biggest piece of advice is to start with a great book-list type curriculum like TruthQuest or Beautiful Feet. Once you get the hang of choosing great books and authors and scheduling them chronologically, you can start to veer away from the book list.

ReplyDeleteI don't. But, I will make this a reader question on FB today and see what others suggest.
