Description
Cover the First Thanksgiving respectfully, without losing valuable class time. This math and reading print and digital activity features a two-page reading passage on the very first Thanksgiving day dinner in 1621 when the pilgrims celebrated their first harvest in the new world. Read about their relationship with the Wampanoag Native Americans and the real first dinner.
The reading passage connects to a cross-curricular integrated history and close reading lesson with material for geography and math as well, allowing you to integrate and differentiate all in one Thanksgiving mini unit. This no-prep packet is great for sub plans or bell ringers and is just one lesson in a series, called History Minutes.
