Turkey Work-ey! 


My students have been hard at work writing letters as turkeys who have run away for Thanksgiving!


We have also been working on nouns and adjectives.  This worksheet helped me explain how to figure out the difference between the words.  We practiced by locating the noun, "turkey."  Each time they read a word, I asked them to say it in front of the word, "turkey."  So, we discussed how "wing turkey" does not make sense but "plump turkey" does.  Therefore, "wing" is another noun and "plump" is an adjective describing "turkey!"


These center cards were a fun way to review coin recognition and value for my 1st graders.  The two worksheets from the preview pic below go nicely with the matching game!


We used this worksheet to make sentences by learning how you must have a "who or what" and an "action" to make a sentence.  My kiddos had fun writing and drawing pictures to match their sentences!


Here is the unit that all of these activities come from-- if you are interested in turkey themed learning fun this week or next!
 Turkey Learning Unit!
 


I used the book called A Plump and Perky Turkey for lots of fun fiction learning as well with my students!




We took a field trip to The Living Arts and Science Center here in Lexington, KY.  We had so much fun with the color and light theme they used and seeing all of their cool critters!




Butterflies, axolotls, and chameleons, oh my!


Next week, our class Thanksgiving Feast and learning about the first Thanksgiving!!

Have a great weekend!
