Planning a Thanksgiving Unit Study
It's November and that means just over 3 weeks until Thanksgiving. This year I wanted to share the holiday with my kids in a way that focuses on gratitude, love, and family. So I went searching for fun, nostalgic stories and activities that we could sprinkle into our homeschool throughout the month. And I came to find that there were so many good ideas that we probably won't get through them all. So if you're looking for some family centered ideas for your homeschool, I hope you'll find lots of inspiration here.

*An Old Fashioned Thanksgiving by Louisa May Alcott
--Watch the Hallmark version here

*Cranberry Thanksgiving by Wende and Harry Devlin

This Week:
What I'm Cooking:
This week we got into the fall spirit and baked a yummy batch of pumpkin chocolate chip muffins. Nothing says fall to me like pumpkin flavored baked goods. That is definitely the flavor of fall.
What I'm Reading:
I'm currently reviewing Sally Clarkson's new book: Giving Your Words. I find that I'm highlighting passage after passage. It's so rich and full of encouragement. I'm only about a quarter of the way through so I'm reserving judgement for now. But exited to see where this book goes.
What I'm Doing:
We've been spending these cooler evenings walking as a family and then gathering around the dinning room table for a board or card game. It's been lots of good family time.
What I'm Enjoying:
Visiting with the neighbors in the evenings...
Watching ballet class...
Picking up kids from youth group...
What are you up to?
