Thanksgiving Stations
The week before a holiday I like to do stations with my kids. Some teachers call them centers. Centers, stations, whatever you want to call them, they are fun for teachers and kids! So what are they, how do you do them, and why do you them? Stations are just that. Different stations set up…
