You can use the basket for a mini Easter basket or a paper flower basket. My class will be coloring plaster eggs and placing their egg inside. The basket is perfect for one normal size egg.

Writing prompt that can be used for sequencing, details, and more.

Have your students color each pendant. Once each pendant is colored cut out the shape. Then fold the tab hanging off the pendant in half. Take a ribbon or string between the fold and staple. It works best if you put two staples on the sides and one staple in the middle. These pendants are great to decorate a classroom or dance or home. My students are in 6-12 grade in my class, we did it with our Unified PE class as a Unified Art Project and they loved it!

This Thanksgiving activity takes being thankful to a new level. We all have done the turkey with the things we are thankful for which is fun way to make a turkey. I decided that to really show others what you are thankful for you shouldn't just do something for yourself. Actions speak louder than words! Gobble, gobble! Help everyone stuff their Thanksgiving turkey with more than just food this year stuff it with love! Stuff everyone's turkey with compliments!

My Unified PE class is doing a card exchange (6th-12th grade). These would be great for students who can't afford to buy cards or just for all the students. Also these could be cute for a candy grams fundraiser.

A great way to have students practice recalling how to make their favorite pie recipe as well as work on sequencing. It could also be used for transferring a recipe as well.

A 3-D dimensional egg design that is able to be used as just a fun paper egg in a basket or an ornament. You decide! My kids decided to put them in their baskets we made, see Spring Weaved Basket for my basket design.

Pass out a quote to each student or put your students in groups and have them select a quote to work on together. This can be part of a more dynamic lesson where you have the students complete this quote worksheet first. Then have them make a poster for each quote. It can make for some spooky decorations for Halloween.

Build a model mailbox with students. Then help students decorate their mailbox template. Make sure they use the box on the side template and door template to write their name. They will fold the tabs and glue the mailbox together. You may prefer printing this in card stock to make the mailbox more sturdy.

A nice decoration for having a Friendsgiving Party.

Just in time for Thanksgiving I have created a Serious Turkey and Silly Turkey. They can be used as a coloring page, story prompts, visuals of good or off task behavior, and so forth. I created these as visuals for my students Expected Unexpected board.

I created this letter format for writing to Santa that also was something a student who doesn't celebrate Christmas could also be included.
