I hope my unit study is helpful for giving your thoughts a place to start. Maybe picking one book and activity a week is the way to go this year. :)Stephanie Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02976709475515458563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4829223433007649672.post-86337532297342608612011-11-02T00:08:29.749-04:002011-11-02T00:08:29.749-04:00Our Side of the Mountain, a paper doll play sounds...Our Side of the Mountain, a paper doll play sounds like fun! I'm all for going "outside the box."

I'm pulling books off the shelf which are Thanksgiving themed and we're talking about gratefulness (loosely.) I want to be focused during the month of November.

After I planned out Thanksgiving for November I realized spending a month focusing on gratitude is a great way to get us ready for Advent.<br /><br />I also came across another great activity that I didn't put on the lesson plans.

I'm going to do a Thanksgiving unit study with the girls this year (using one that I have had for years) but I'll enjoy looking yours over and probably borrowing a few of your book and craft ideas. : )Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04660852009014295034noreply@blogger.com
