Our Thanksgiving Unit Study
If no one has used Amanda Bennett's Thanksgiving Unit Study let me highly recommend it. I did her Christmas Unit Study last year and we loved it. It goes into depth about the characters in the Christmas story. I plan on using it this year too. The Thanksgiving study is great. It gives allot more background into why the Pilgrims left England, and who they really were. This week we studied the Psalms and King David because allot of the Psalms are about Thankfulness. Also we have studied Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation. Now we are on the Separatists and why they left England and went to Holland. But there are also memory verses and quotes to be memorized and copied. Then there are crafts of course. We are working on a pine cone Turkey today. That is if I can find my brown pipe cleaners. Oh well we may have to improvise. P.S. If anyone needs pine cones I have a yard full. Thanks to all the lovely pine trees in my yard. I also have a drive way covered with Pine needles. We are also as a family making a blessing tree. We used some of Daddy's big roll of drafting paper to make the tree part and then every day we write something we are thankful for on a leaf and add it too the tree. By the end of November we should have a pretty full tree. I will put a picture of the finished project on here. If you would like to have the unit study you can get it on Homeschool Estore. It is only 10 dollars and you download it straight to your computer so there is no wait.
