Canadian Thanksgiving - Enjoy the day

 

Happy Thanksgiving Day!  I hope you can spend some quality time with your family.  Here is an article by Global News about why Canada's Thanksgiving Day and the US's are on different days.  To see the article click here.

Notas de Agradecimiento

This might be an idea you can use if you teach High School Spanish (but could easily be used in your French class too).  This comes from Catharyn Crane at Sol Azucar.

Write "Notas de Agradecimiento" en Español

Practice real world Spanish interpersonal writing skills while showing some thanks with a nota de agradecimiento for a favorite teacher.

Task:

Students will be able to write a simple thank you note in Spanish to express their gratitude to a favorite teacher of their choice.
I collect all the thank you notes at the end of the day and leave them in teachers' mailboxes as a special treat.
Materials:

1 piece of card stock for each student (cut in quarters for a post card OR in halves to be folded like a thank you note)
List of useful thank you phrases (I post on the chalk board)
Markers, colored pencils, other decorating materials (glitter and feathers if you dare!)
