Thanksgiving Fun

I hope everyone had a wonderful and relaxing holiday break! Thanksgiving came and went, but I wanted to post all the fun we had leading up to the big day of thanks and feasting.

In addition to all our hard work and learning we made time for a few extra Thanksgiving activities. Hard to resist :)

Thanksgiving Thankful Book

Very awesome activity to watch the students work through. They used their knowledge of sentence structure to have two solid sentences about what they are thankful for in school, at home, outside, and even for one of the many talents they have! I hope they came home as excited as I was to share their sweet, kind and thoughtful ideas!

 

 

 

 

Place Value Turkeys

We took what we have been learning in math and made it into turkeys!

 

 

Directed Turkey Drawing

Students had to follow step by step directions as we all drew a Thanksgiving Turkey together. It is quick and structured time, where they have to focus, listen and then follow the correct direction to piece all steps together in order to make a piece of art of their own. This gives students the ability to practice listening skills and following one-two step directions to learning.

When we are done is when they get to add their own personal flare to their art! 

 

 

Thanksgiving Scavenger Hunt

To teach the students more about the history of Thanksgiving, they went on a hunt! There were 18 facts about Thanksgiving that were spread around. They had clues and had to connect the clue to the fact with a buddy.

 

 

All projects came home with students the Tuesday before Thanksgiving to enjoy and to show families!
