My friend, Candie Donner, has created 2 Thanksgiving lapbooks for you to use with your children. Use one for your younger children (K-3rd grades) and one for the older ones (4th-7th grade). They are perfect for use with the whole family because they cover the same information, with the older lapbook digging a little deeper.
I was amazed at how beautifully the lapbooks were laid out. The final product, a lap book to enjoy, will be lovely. With so much information, I can't think of anything about Thanksgiving that was not included.
What on earth is a laptop you might be asking? It is a project that children create using file folders. They cut out and make all kinds of quick and easy projects, gluing them to the file folders in an attractive way. The lapbook becomes a keepsake, a permanent record of what you've learned together.
Topics Covered
The lapbook covers information, definitions, and celebrations. Here are some of the topics included in the lapbook.

There is such a variety of little booklets Candie uses. I love her creativity! This lapbook is so simple to use. Simply gather file folders with other equipment you'll need and organize everything. Now, comes the fun part: cutting and pasting. Mom talks to the children while they work, reading material aloud, asking questions, and answering questions.
Several kinds of learning take place: visual, auditory, and tactile. What a fun way to learn about the Pilgrims, Thanksgiving, the Mayflower Compact, and Scriptures on gratitude. Here are some of the books you will make with your children.
