Gobble up some learning fun!
Thanksgiving gives 2nd graders a cozy reason to read, write and practice skills. They read about the history of the holiday and how families celebrate today, and talk about what it means to be thankful. Teachers weave in skills too: reading comprehension with turkey stories, nouns from the dinner table, ABC order with fall words and addition with harvest themes. The click comes when kids share a list of things they're thankful for and realize the best ones aren't things at all.
Holiday themes keep kids excited. These moves keep the learning real.
