November: Thanksgiving!



This month’s thematic theme for preschoolers is THANKSGIVING! 
Wondering how this works? Use the compiled list below as a starting point for your own homeschooling or use simply as a list of "fun" activities with your little ones. I will post monthly thematic units as the year continues. Next month's theme is CHRISTMAS.

Enjoy! Genevieve 

Math, & Reading, & Writing...oh MY!
Below are links to high quality (& free!) printables from 1plus1plus1equals1 and 2teachingmommies for both math and writing/reading. Honoring the original creators' requests, you have to go directly to the sites and then click on the links. But TOTALLY worth it! Click on the image to get to each website.
