**I’m sorry this is going up so late. We’ve been dealing with a virus at our house that has now plagued all 4 kiddos. Thankfully it’s just a runny nose, coughing virus (and not the stomach bug going around), but nevertheless it’s taken it’s toll on this momma with the late nights and very little sleep. And today (Wed) I’ve been plagued with computer issues. I’m just so glad this is finally available for you all to have and use!! Thanks for understanding and I hope you enjoy the Thanksgiving Unit Study and List of Preschool printables.**

Last week I shared with you my Pilgrim Unit, which basically introduced the Pilgrim’s and got them to the Americas. This week I am bringing you my Thanksgiving Unit Study, which will finish out the Pilgrim’s journey to the First Thanksgiving. In school I always studied Pilgrims and Thanksgiving together. They just sorta went hand-in-hand. But, as I did more and more research for the Unit Study (originally just Thanksgiving), I realized there was so much more to the Pilgrim’s and the meaning behind the First Thanksgiving. I felt like the Pilgrim’s deserved their own unit study and frankly, there was just too much information for one unit – so I split it.
This week we are doing the Pilgrim Unit Study and we’ll follow it up next with the Thanksgiving Unit Study. That way our “schooling” the week of Thanksgiving is fairly minimal and light.
Not only am I excited to share my own Thanksgiving study with you, I have found some other wonderful Preschool Unit Studies and craft ideas for Thanksgiving on Pinterest!! (Shocker…I know!)
To download the Thanksgiving Unit, simply click on the picture below and it will take you to google docs, where you can download the entire unit. Then, just pick and choose what pages you would like to use.
All files are .pdf files unless otherwise indicated.
PLEASE DO NOT SELL THESE IMAGES OR REPOST THEM ANYWHERE ON THE INTERNET WITHOUT MY PERMISSION. PLEASE LINK THEM DIRECTLY TO THIS PAGE. THESE ARE OFFERED FREE OF CHARGE TO BLESS OTHERS, BUT I SPEND MY OWN TIME MAKING THEM. THANK YOU!!
Here are some great supplements I found to use with this unit study:
Or you can sign your student(s) up on mygreatmaps.com and make the maps completely interactive!! They can color them, label them and more!! I think it’s my favorite new resource!!!
For more advanced students, I found this Southern Colonies crossword puzzle on docstoc.com.
I also found this cute little 13 colonies rhyme/song to help with memorizing the 13 colonies. Some of the reviews said they couldn’t find the song it goes to, but even without that I think it’s a fun way to memorize them.
And, here’s a list of FREE Preschool Printables to use for your Littles!!
Homeschool Creations has a Thanksgiving Printable Pack
Mama Bee From the Hive has this super adorable and fun Counting Activity

And, as always, don’t forget to check out my Holidays: Thanksgiving Pinterest Board for more ideas. It’s full of crafts, printables and even some recipes!! AND…I’m always adding to it – not because I’m obsessed with Pinterest, but because I care about you! (At least that’s what I tell myself!! HAHA!)
Blessings,
Annette
