Visual TimerThanksgiving moves every year — it is always the fourth Thursday of November — so the countdown works out the right date for you and shows the days, hours, minutes and seconds left, plus the number of sleeps.
The orange circle shrinks as the holiday gets closer. Put it on the classroom board during November, or on a tablet in the kitchen while you plan the menu.
