READING

Family Literacy: Thanksgiving Tales

 

Students will enjoy leading this family literacy activity. It involves asking family members to write a paragraph about what they are thankful for. Then the student will read it aloud at Thanksgiving. Funny? Touching? Surprising? Sad? Families will cherish these tributes and add to them from year to year. You may enjoy some of the other Thanksgiving activity ideas in the "Holidays & Seasons" category on www.afterschooltreats.com
