Thanksgiving has been the workbox theme around here since last week, and here a few samples.
I chose to give different quotes to each of my older two kids, so I stamped each slip with either a leaf or an apple and made sure they knew whose was whose. The writing paper is from
abcteach.
Thanksgiving-themed verbal analogies from
Enchanted Learning. DS (11) is getting the Thanksgiving version of a "grammar potpourri" worksheet from that same site in one of tomorrow's boxes.
Word problems having to do with Thanksgiving from
abcteach are keeping both kids' math skills sharp while we take a little break from
Right Start Math. We'll hop right back into the curricula as soon as December 1st rolls around.
Schlessinger Media DVDs are great--we were lucky enough to get this one (
Early Settlers) and
one about Plimouth Plantation via interlibrary loan to watch this week. Wish this company would start streaming videos, and soon!
A few of the many Thanksgiving books that have made their way into the boxes in the past week or so.
I'll post more as time allows.
by Linda White and Megan Lloyd, we were thrilled to learn that the same author/illustrator pair had a new book out in time for Thanksgiving! Too Many Turkeys
is just as captivating a story, and one of my children declared she liked it even more than Too Many Pumpkins.
