More Thanksgiving Fun!

I hope everyone has a WONDERFUL and RELAXING  Thanksgiving!! We had a fun couple days finishing up our Thanksgiving unit. Here is a look at our super short week:

Monday
We practiced making groups of 5.



We played a number game where students had to say a number and see if the turkey was hiding behind it.





We dressed up as pilgrims!! 

We read a very cute story called 'The Thanksgiving Surprise'.

We wrote about where we would hide a turkey.
(I will hide the turkey in the bath tub.)


(I will hide the turkey in a pan.)


(I will hide the turkey in my trampoline.)


(I will hide the turkey in the bus.)

We made pumpkin pie in a cup! I had some good cooks! We made this out of pumpkin spice instant pudding, graham crackers, and cool whip.

 Yum!!



We graphed whether or not we like the pumpkin pie.

We recorded our data.



Tuesday
We started the day with practicing one-to-one correspondence.



Today, we dressed up as Indians!! We made a vest, necklace, and headband.




We played a fun turkey sight word game.






We finished the last page of our 'First Thanksgiving Book'.



This is the cover of our book.

We reread 'The Thanksgiving Surprise' and completed our story map.

We recreated the setting of 'The Thanksgiving Surprise'. Then, we sequenced the order that the turkey hid in the different places in the setting. Last, we retold the story with the pilgrim brothers. They turned out soo cute! I have some wonderful artists!







 Here are the placemats that the kids made for their parents for their Thanksgiving present! They turned out so cute!




Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

Year Long Plan!

Hi everyone! I just want to say thank you to everyone who has come to check out my blog and to all my followers. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it and for all of your support! You have all taught me so much and I hope I have been able to give you ideas and materials for your classroom :) As many of you know, I absolutely LOVE doing themes in my classroom! I have been asked to share my year long plan that I do for my thematic units and I am so excited to finally have it all ready for you to see! I know some people have mixed feelings regarding themes because they feel they do not always meet the standards, but I do have to disagree. I can't say enough wonderful things about doing themes! During my weekly or biweekly themes, I hit more common core standards than I can count! There are a ton of benefits that themes provide for my students that truly gives them so much growth and success! Some of the biggest benefits I feel thematic units do in the classroom are: - Gives a

Scarecrows- Part Two!

I can't believe this week marked the end of the first quarter!! It has gone by so fast! This week was a 4 day week with my students and we had our inservice/report cards on Friday. We ended the first quarter with part 2 of my Scarecrow Unit ! What a fun and busy week we had! We had a blast continuing our Scarecrow Unit with lots more math and literacy activities. Here is a look at our week. There are FREEBIES in here for you all as well! :)  Thank you for checking out my blog! Monday This week was all about the number 7. We practiced tracing, writing, and finding the number 7. Then we rainbow wrote the number 7 and filled the other one in with crows :) We had lots of fun being crows, but got a little mixed up. Luckily, our friends in class were there to help us get back to the correct order!  I love hearing my students interact with each other, work together, and be problem solvers! We unscrambled numbered crows and placed them in the correct order on a fence. We also wrote about

I am so excited to share with you that I have just finished the Little Red Riding Hood Unit ! The activities included in this unit are hands-on, interactive, and lots of fun! There are literacy and math activities, anchor charts, crafts, games, and MORE! 17 different activities to be exact!

Here is what is all included: • Little Red Riding Hood Story Elements Anchor Chart • Little Red Riding Hood Student Story Elements Interactive Book • 3D Basket Craftivity • Board Game (different skill options to
