Yea, yea – I know…Halloween isn’t even here yet, but I’ve got a Thanksgiving activity for you. Actually, this is a great activity to do the entire month of November! That’s why I’m sharing it a little early. 🙂


I don’t know about you, but I always love a good “thank you!” When I randomly receive a sincere word of thanks from another person, it can change my mood for the entire day! That’s how this came to be…


Last year I wanted our staff to be able to show their appreciation for one another. I went into super-sneaky-stealth mode and put this little poster up in our Teachers’ Lounge. 🙂

Need to boost staff morale? Or perhaps your classroom could use a lift this November? Either way, you're going to LOVE this idea! Create a tree, cut out the FREE leaves provided, and give others "thanks" for all they've done for you or your students! It's a great Thanksgiving tradition to start in your classroom or school this year!
(I swear we did end up with more leaves than this!
I took a picture after the first day, but then I spaced
off taking one before I took the tree back down. Ooops!)
 
 

The tree was a huge hit! It was so fun to read the compliments from one staff member to another, and it was even better to literally feel morale increase!


I could see this working for an entire school like we did, but it would work just as well in your classroom! Why not let your students show their appreciation for one another?! Or maybe you have a “wing” in the school where the students could participate. The opportunities are really endless!


So – how can you get in on the fun you ask? Simply click here or on the picture below to download your free copy. The hardest part will be cutting out the leaves, but I promise it’s worthwhile! 😉
