I love this time of year. The holiday season is just getting started. It's not yet December, so my kids aren't too crazy yet. Best of all, some delicious holiday eating is only days away.
To help take advantage of this special time, I thought I'd share a few Thanksgiving themed resources. I'll started with a quick and simple Turkey Directed Drawing.
This directed drawing is a favorite of my students. They always seems so surprised with their directed drawing creations and this turkey is no exception. These directed drawings make an adorable display that students are sure to be proud of. Plus, this drawing is super simple to teach.

Another resource I'll be using, during the days leading up to Thanksgiving, is my On Point Leaning Journal for November. I've used these print-and-go math and literacy activities in a variety of ways over the years (depending on my group of students).
In the past, I've made my On Point Learning Journal into a booklet that students work on at their own pace (if they've completed all of their work). This year, I've been using the activities in small groups for review and reinforcement of skills from earlier in the year. Having quick-prep and meaningful, seasonally inspired activities makes planning a snap.

One final Thanksgiving themed resource I'd like share is my Perky Turkey Fact Family Scoot. I actually created this scoot a few years ago. Originally it was a subtraction scoot. Well, this year, my students are in need of a little extra practice with fact families.
I tweaked the original Perky Turkey Subtraction Scoot so that my young learners can have a chance to work with fact families.
Students will scoot to each turkey card and write the fact family numbers on their recording sheets. Then, students will write a fact family with each set of numbers.
My students love scoot and write the room. I know they'll enjoy practicing fact families with this activity.

Thank you for taking time to visit School Is a Happy Place.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Such a lovely collection of Thanksgiving ideas for teachers! I really like how these activities combine learning with creativity and make the holiday season feel even more special for students. The turkey directed drawing sounds like a fun way to build confidence, especially when kids see their own creations come to life. It’s always helpful to have simple, meaningful resources that make classroom preparation easier during busy times of the year. I found more interesting educational and creative ideas like this here too: spinsahara casino.
ReplyDeleteŚwietny wpis! Bardzo podoba mi się podejście do tworzenia przyjaznej atmosfery w szkole i pokazywania, że nawet drobne działania mogą pozytywnie wpływać na motywację uczniów. Takie pomysły są inspiracją również dla rodziców i nauczycieli szukających nowych rozwiązań. Przy okazji warto korzystać także z różnych nowoczesnych aplikacji ułatwiających organizację czasu wolnego – ostatnio natknąłem się na https://play-jonny.pl/app/ i zrobiła na mnie całkiem dobre wrażenie. Dziękuję za ciekawy artykuł i czekam na kolejne wpisy!
