⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Danielle W. wrote, “This was such a fun activity to complete with my ELL newcomers! We learned about Thanksgiving and then the students completed the menu. Some students included traditional "American" Thanksgiving foods, while others selected foods they enjoy from their country. It was enjoyable for me to learn more about each student's culture and likes. We celebrated with a Thanksgiving feast! I will use this project again this year. Thanks for a fun resource!”
