Since my last post was inspired by Kajder's last chapter, I decided to research some websites that contain engaging lesson plans for Thanksgiving. I found one in particular that I found to be helpful, and that covered all age groups.

While this website had many activities that I felt solely directed to the holiday, I found others that used creative ways to tie the holiday into the normal class curriculum. What I loved the most was that this website also gave ideas for community service projects! I remember the classes I loved the most when I was younger was classes that held food drives for our local food pantries. Not only was I learning how to talk about food in Spanish class, but we learned what it felt like to give back! I will definitely be using these learning activities in my future classroom even if it is a room full of college students.
