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.
