This mini-unit helps students understand the events leading up to the first Thanksgiving and gives them tools to make connections between those events. Through a variety of read aloud books, students describe the reasons why the pilgrims celebrated Thanksgiving.
To explain why the pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving, students will:

I loved using this resource in my classroom for 4th and 5th graders. Just make sure you plan to do it over a week, as it does include multiple resources.
