REED has created a Tribute Wall where the students can read about Israel's fallen soldiers and civilians. Your students are invited add to the wall. Encourage them to share a personal story or research information about a soldier/civilian/victim of terror and post to our wall. Click here for instructions and the link to the Tribute Wall.
Use this British Council document (pdf or online) to learn about Thanksgiving. Then choose at least THREE writing activities from this Thanksgiving Choice Board. Another idea would be to make a Thanksgiving Bubble.
Have your students research Aliya throughout history. They can prepare a presentation using slides, write a vlog, interview older members of the community or a one pager. In addition encourage your students to write a creative personal story through poetry, a personal diary, a song, etc.
The REED team has created simple activities for each month based on Official International "Special Days". You could choose to give your students these amazing activities according to the date or let each student choose one to work on. Your excelling students could then share their findings with the rest of the class. Examples include: Origami Day, Superhuman Day, Pizza Month, Festivus, Martin Luther King Day, Ice-Cream for Breakfast Day, Eat What You Want Day and April Fools' Day.

There are times you may want to encourage your students to say Thank you. For example: Teachers' Day in Israel is on 23 Kislev, Thanksgiving (4th Thursday in November), the end of the school year, a Teacher's birthday, etc. Here's a suggestion of an activity that you may want to adopt/adapt for your class.
