The Thanksgiving Project is a story of how a teacher and her students learned to be grateful and happy by researching the history of Thanksgiving and writing a journal of gratitude. It is a heartwarming and inspiring story that will make you appreciate the things you have and the people you love. INTRODUCTION: -Mrs. Jones was a fifth-grade teacher who loved her job and her students, but she also faced many challenges. Her school was located in a low-income neighborhood, where many families struggled with poverty, violence, and unemployment. Many of her students had learning difficulties, behavioral problems, or emotional issues. Some of them came from broken homes, foster care, or abusive situations. Mrs. Jones tried her best to provide a safe and supportive environment for her students, but she often felt overwhelmed and frustrated. One day, in early November, she decided to give her students a special assignment. She wanted them to learn about the meaning and history of Thanksgiving, and to express their gratitude for the things they had in their lives. She hoped that this would help them develop a positive attitude and a sense of appreciation. She gave them two tasks to complete: a report and a journal. For the report, they had to research and write about the first Thanksgiving, when the Pilgrims and the Native Americans shared a feast and gave thanks for their friendship and survival. For the journal, they had to write down three things that they were thankful for every day, until Thanksgiving. They had to present their report and their journal to the class on the day before Thanksgiving. How did the students react to the assignment? How did they do their research and write their report? How did they write their journal and what did they write in it? How did they present their work and what did they say? How did the teacher and the students celebrate Thanksgiving in the school and what did they do?Find out the answers to these questions and more in this heartwarming and inspiring story of a teacher and her students who learned to be grateful and happy for the first Thanksgiving and for their own Thanksgiving. *Each Chapter is followed By Multi-Choice Questions To Test Your Students Understanding.
