My students really enjoyed this and it challenged their thinking.
Kylie W. –
This project was great, I wish that it was something that all of my students could do independently but it required quite a bit of whole group explanation/introduction.
Celinda S. –
I had to be out during the week of Thanksgiving. This project was easy for my sub to manage and gave my students some great practice at word problems and other math skills. Great opportunity for some critical thinking, loved the challenges. We worked as partners and the kids enjoyed trying to solve the problems.

The 2nd and 3rd grade students really enjoyed learning how to create and budget and planning a Thanksgiving meal. It helped them apply real-world knowledge and tasks (use of money, budgeting, adjusting purchases based on how much money is left).

These project based learning is something that my students look forward to each month. I give them a different one based on theme or holiday. They are excited to do this one for Thanksgiving. It is rigorous, yet it provides opportunity for my students to be creative.

Thank you, L’erin! We are happy to hear that your students enjoy these PBL resources. We regularly try to come up with new ones and we are just as excited as they are about the Thanksgiving Feast. Although this resource is stuffed with activities, we hope it leaves them hungry for more!
