Thanks & Giving

Every year I have students create a Thanks & Giving Tree " Thanksgiving Tree." Each day leading up to Thanksgiving I have students write on a leaf one thing they are thankful for and one thing they are did that classifies under giving.  For example, helping a friend that day find her jacket with being prompted is "giving of her time to help a friend in need."  I was able to purchase a plain white tree that has light attached to it and student then place their completed leafs on the tree.  Students punch a hole in the leaf and attache a paper clip to the leaf which serves as a ornament hook.  The end result is great!

This also serves as a poetry tree.  Have the students share their various poems based on your lessons and display until the next type of poem is finalized.

Good Giving!!!!
