Thanksgiving has already come and gone! And what? It’s going
to be December tomorrow? Well, I’ll be closing out the Turkey Time posts for
this month's Elementary Entourage theme. And although the time has past, maybe
this post will help with some ideas for next year!
Reading Turkey Trouble can never go wrong. Students always
love this silly book about a turkey
trying different disguises to escape being dinner. It’s the perfect time to do
a Disguise the Turkey activity if you like doing that in your classroom. The
book is a great one to start off the unit. Students also get to really dissect
the book and work on comprehension skills with this Turkey Trouble tab booklet.
Around this time, we get to do our Thanksgiving HandwritingScoot. Handwriting Scoot is something I created when I realized, sheesh,
students really need to work on their writing! Handwriting gets focused on less
and less as the years go by. So I try to do these themed Scoots where students
learn relavent vocabulary and play a handwriting game. They love it!
Speaking of games, why not incorporate Thanksgiving related
sentences and practice sentence structure as well. So we do our noun and verbroam the room games.
Of course my favorite time is Thanksgiving lunch/dinner with
the family. And here is a little freebie for you to practice fact families. It's a cute little project using a "place setting," to write out four fact family sentences.
See you all next month!!
