Cranberry Thanksgiving has been our favorite for about 4 years now and this year was no different.
We read it among other Thanksgiving favorites~
One of our first activities was to pull out maps and globes to find the New England States for geography~
To make reading the book each day Way more fun, we made up motions to perform when a name was read~
It got a little crazy fun really!
We were having guests over for dinner so we ran to the store for ingredients to make Cranberry Orange Cake~
EK and SJ worked on it while the other kiddos were resting~
It turned out beautiful, smelled heavenly, and tasted even better~
We even used some cranberries for our table arrangement!

Tricia Hodges @ Hodgepodge shared a chalk pastel art project so after watching the story on Youtube~
We had our hand at drawing Mr. Whiskers with crayons of course~
They turned out adorable~
I had them all write something they remembered about him from the story~
Our all time favorite thing to do with this book is create silhouettes~
Even Macy got in on the action~
They turned out beautiful and are hanging in our school room all ready for Thanksgiving~
While naming things and people we were thankful for this week, we decided for Thankful Thursday we would write letters~
Some very special people have mail on the way!
It was a very wonderful week with this book and probably will enjoy it again next year.
