While Canada and the United States share many holidays – including Christmas and Labour Day – Canadian and American Thanksgivings are held almost two months apart. Ours was held on October 14th and in the U.S, it's on November 28th. Canada’s celebration has often been credited to it getting colder the further north you go – and therefore having an earlier harvest. The day is still all about gratitude and giving thanks in both countries (and a turkey dinner and pumpkin pie!)
I saw these table place cards at Dollarama and was inspired to create a window display involving all students and staff from our school. The office staff distributed them to all the homeroom teachers and they had students write on them something they were grateful for. Then, a colleague and I hung them on windows in a naturalistic swirling motion using scotch tape.
It added a nice autumnal touch to our hallway and received many compliments!
