Dive deep into themes like the Pilgrim's voyage to America, the Wampanoag people, the First Encounters, the First Thanksgiving, and the relationship between the Pilgrims and Native Americans in the first year.
This 2025 revised version has been updated to be more accessible and easier to use for families with children of all ages. It features an updated book list and daily learning summaries, making this curriculum truly open and go.

Our Core Values
This unit study was wonderful, thoughtful, easy to use and fun! The book selection was wonderful and it was so easy to integrate into what we were already doing for the month of November. I loved how it touched on all aspects. It was well rounded and so thankful to have found the resource!! Keep them coming! The recipes were great too! Thank you.
My five year old and I enjoyed this study very much! We had a meaningful couple of weeks leading up to Thanksgiving.
My two boys are 6 and 5. They love the hands on parts! A perfect curriculum mix up! We added in some crafts, fun books, and thanksgiving themed math worksheets for a complete preschool/kindergarten month!
We have 6 kids grades pre-K through 8th and this set really does have something for everyone! And even I’m learning things I never knew!
We purchased our first curriculum from Treehouse Schoolhouse and can't wait to buy more! My two girls, 6 & 8, absolutely loved learning about the history of Thanksgiving and all the amazing hands-on projects that went with each day's lesson. Who knew they had such great whittling skills!? We were very impressed with everything we learned and will be buying the Connected Christmas next week!
Absolutely loved this unit. The books were challenging to find, but when we couldn’t find on YouTube - we just found an alternative. Being a M.Ed myself, I appreciate the wonderful art, true history living books and meaningful crafts. We are going to be doing the Christmas unit next!
This looks beautiful and educational! We can’t wait to start!
I’m glad it’s only 2 weeks. Works perfectly with our schedule. It’s very well organized and I REALLY appreciate that the hand crafts don’t require a lot of prep. That’s very important to me around the holidays with 5 children.
I couldn’t love this curriculum more!!! It’s been such a special addition to our Thanksgiving season!!
We’re excited to go through this as a family! I was able to look through the booklist and appropriately pick age appropriate ones for littles, and it still looks like a great change to learn.
amazing learning
This unit is so great. Looking forward to the holidays even more!
Our family really enjoyed these lessons. Very well put together and kept my kids attention.
Our family really enjoyed these lessons. Very well put together.
I added this to my cart with a bundle I purchased and plan to use the following year. We needed a Thanksgiving study and now that we have completed A Connected Christmas as well as a Virtuous Valentine’s, I am certain we will love this!
I love Treehouse Schoolhouse products. They are so beautiful and created in a very meticulous and thoughtful way to incorporate all subjects. I do wish there was an option or ideas for little ones. I have a 6 and 3 years old, and some of it is above their level, but I just go with it.
Very happy with this study! We are having so much fun with it! The book recommendations were great as well.
we loved the thanksgiving one and the book list!
started christmas today the rich literature that goes along with it is unlike anything I have ever found!!!
The lessons are a great addition to our homeschool and have saved me time. It works well with other grateful lessons I've used in the past, but this one focuses more on history which I appreciate.
I used this with my developmentally disabled child to help her connect with the origins of Thanksgiving. We loved this curriculum and my child looked forward to a new lesson each day!
I appreciate the scriptures incorporated in the study, They were well thought out and align with the reading. The suggested activities and recipes were a nice addition to this study as well. Some of the information is inaccurate however. For example, the pilgrims did not name Plymouth, MA. It was already named by John Smith a few years prior to the Pilgrims's landing. In addition, some of the art used inaccurately depicts the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag people. I also appreciated the incorporation of both perspectives - that of the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag. This in combination with the scriptures allowed us to empathize with history a little deeper. Overall, this was a thoughtful study. As a side note, we were only able to find one out of all the suggested books at our local library.
This unit was engaging! It taught my kids (and myself) a lot! We enjoyed all the activities, especially the whittling! The content was beautiful and easy for my kids to follow.
We are really enjoying this Thanksgiving study! It's simple and straight forward. I love the narration notebooks and the book recommendations are great. The crafts have really interested my kids and we've had a fun time making them! I will say, the directions on how to do the Crafts could be improved with more visual instruction. But we've been using youtube videos and improvising, and so far everything has turned out just fine!
We have enjoyed this book so much! It gets us in God’s word and teaches history. It’s been great for our family.
This is my first full year homeschooling, and I really wanted to connect over the holidays. A Treasured Thanksgiving is the perfect way to do that! We have loved the curriculum, readings, and hands-on crafts. It's been a great lead-up to give the holiday more meaning.
After reviewing multiple options for a Thanksgiving study; I settled on A Treasured Thanksgiving and it did not disappoint! As our first family, Thanksgiving study this was easy to follow. My children (8 and 4) were both engaged in the lessons and highly enjoyed the hands-on activities. I appreciated the incorporation of Scripture and history, ease of use and ability to use it more than once with a variety of books at different reading levels. We will definitely be using Treehouse Schoolhouse for future studies.
The crafts have been fun for my kids and it has really helped us to explore the Thanksgiving story.
Our family has so loved a Treasured Thanksgiving! We used it last year, and my daughter begged to do it again! So now we are now delving deeper with additional books and more about the time period as a whole, doing anything we didn’t get to, etc. Thank you THSH for always putting connection above all! ❤️❤️❤️
