The week before Thanksgiving is always a hectic time of year at my school. The students are given the entire next week off school so they are bouncing off the walls with excitement. This article provides multiple AWESOME resources that describe explain the story behind Thanksgiving. There are many different articles for all grade levels. The lessons could be implanted in many different settings to meet the needs of your class. You could introduce these lesson whole class, small group, centers, or group work. I will definitely be utilizing at least one of these to engage my students throughout the week before Thanksgiving.

Having a class set of iPads is truly a wonderful asset for my classroom. I am constantly finding ways to utilize the iPads during math, science, and social studies instruction. However, I have been very interested in finding ways to encourage literacy skill building in a different way. This website has many great resources to use in my classroom. I am very interested to see what sort of impact iPads would have on students who are not fond of reading. I feel that by presenting literature in various ways would be beneficial to students. I highly suggest reading this short article and using their ideas within the classroom.
