Thanksgiving
By Kathy

If you don't need something curriculum-based, one of the cutest displays I did was a gigantic Mayflower. (I had my high school helper blow it up on the overhead.) Then (depending on how big your "Mayflower" is), have each
student make a pilgrim from a paper plate or color one that you have xeroxed from a coloring book. Label each pilgrim--it makes a showy display.
I have done turkeys(also from paper plates) with something they are thankful for on each construction paper feather. That makes another cute display.
One hint I would give you on displays if you don't have guidelines on how often you

need to change them. Make them SEASONAL instead of holiday related. (As in writing a poem about leaves or snowflakes) Then you are not bound to take it down as soon as the holiday is over!!
