Thanksgiving+Resources

Shared by Stephen Wolfe [] On the choice board, I am giving them the options of different activities. The choice board and some of the activities are attached. The acrostic, essay, and "The Meal Must Go On" readers theater are three of them. I may use a different readers theater which I will link to below instead and use one as a class read aloud/fluency passage for the week. I may also turn the essay into the weekly writing activity.

On the choice board, I am giving them choices of a:

Crossword Puzzle: http://superteacherworksheets.com/holiday/thanksgiving-crossword.pdf Cryptogram: http://www.superteacherworksheets.com/holiday/thanksgiving-crypto.pdf Color By Number with Multiplication: http://superteacherworksheets.com/multiplication/mysterypicture-multiplication-turkey.pdf (On the Super Teacher Worksheets site you can get different levels of this and also addition, subtraction, and division. All the pictures are the same though.) Thankful Turkey: http://superteacherworksheets.com/holiday/thanksgiving-turkeypattern.pdf Roll & Build: http://www.2teachingmommies.org/Holidays/Thanksgiving/Roll%20a%20Pilgrim%20or%20Indian.pdf

The mystery picture I will probably get from the book of mystery pictures that you all have.

The attachment, Thanksgiving Story Bracelet, I will probably do as a craft this week. I was thinking about Friday since I will be having a Thanksgiving Celebration/"Feast" doing the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Feast (toast, pretzels, jelly beans, and popcorn) and watch the video.

The other reader's theater I was thinking about was: http://www.thebestclass.org/ThanksgivingABC.pdf

I will probably use some of these reading comprehension passages/activities with my class this week too:

http://superteacherworksheets.com/reading-comp/4th-thanksgiving.pdf http://superteacherworksheets.com/reading-comp/3rd-thanksgiving-essay.pdf http://superteacherworksheets.com/reading-comp/5th-pumpkin-pie.pdf http://superteacherworksheets.com/reading-comp/thanksgiving-eagleorturkey.pdf

Usually with these, I let them do them with a partner going back into the passage underlining where they found the answers. After everyone has finished (or I get tired of waiting) I go over them on the overhead making sure they found the answers. Oddly enough, my class seems to enjoy doing this.

If any of you have book buddies, they may enjoy making, coloring, and reading this with them this week. We did one of these with ours earlier this year and they still use it in their book boxes. http://www.dltk-teach.com/minibooks/thanksgiving/index.htm
