Take the stress out of planning a Thanksgiving celebration that is magical and educational with these Thanksgiving centers! This will be a Thanksgiving your students never forget!

Set the stage with a note from the pie shop owner:

    My students LOVED this activity. I printed out the suspect sheets a few to a page so they could keep track and not waste paper. I also made slides for them to follow along and do as a whole group. I had a few work in a small group because they work faster. This activity translated so well to different learners and working on 1st grade skills like cutting, sorting, coloring in the lines! It was so wonderful! I will purchase more in the furture.

I appreciate the variety in the activities and the skills that are covered. The skills matched up very well to where my students are at! I am able to use the activities as a whole group, small groups, or even in partners. I seriously cannot say enough good things about these!
