Literacy Snack Thanksgiving Read-Aloud

We’re down to our last few days before Thanksgiving break and we’re getting excited! This week’s Literacy Snack Thanksgiving Read-Aloud is an all-time classic, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving by Charles Schultz.

“When Peppermint Patty invites herself (and most of her friends) to Charlie Brown’s house for Thanksgiving dinner, Charlie Brown reluctantly agrees to make a holiday feast even though he can barely make toast and cold cereal! Can he pull together a memorable meal, or will he and his friends just be grateful when it’s over?”

In the book, Snoopy makes a Thanksgiving “feast” that’s not your typical Thanksgiving dinner. For our snack this week, we’re having some of the items that Snoopy made.

THIS ACTIVITY WORKS WELL WITH

snack idea

each student needs

one slice of bread

a little butter for the toast

a small handful of jelly beans

a small handful of popcorn

a toaster

assemble

There’s not much to do for this week’s snack, besides making the toast. It’s a great opportunity to help teach the kids safety around kitchen appliances. Each student will make a piece of toast and put some butter on it. They’ll each get a small amount of popcorn and jellybeans to go with. Such a fun and silly treat to go along with the book.

While the kids are enjoying their snacks, I made a free printable for them to work on. They’ll be able to draw all their favorite foods for Thanksgiving.
