About this resource

Children write and draw what they are thankful for on the feathers of a paper spoon turkey, then sort thankful things into people, things and places, write about them, and fill spoons for a class display. This print-and-go Thanksgiving unit gives you the picture words, four levels of writing, the sort, the class display pieces, a cut-and-glue spoon turkey, a note for families and a class graph.

How To Use

1. Talk. Look at the 16 picture words on page 3 and ask what each child is thankful for.

2. Write and draw. Pages 4-7 grow from one picture and a sentence to a story and a thank-you note.

3. Make the spoon. Write on the five feathers (page 13), cut, and glue the spoon turkey (page 14). Hang the class spoons (page 11) under the banner words (page 12).
