This week we only have school Monday and Tuesday. I am definitely ready for the break! Since we only have two days we won’t be using our normal ELA curriculum, and that frees up a little time for some seasonal activities.
We are going to read my favorite Thanksgiving story A Turkey for Thanksgiving by Eve Bunting. If you haven’t read it before, it is a super cute book. Mrs. Moose wants to have a turkey for Thanksgiving. She sends Mr. Moose out to find a turkey, which he drags to their house. The surprise ending is that Mrs. Moose wants turkey to be a guest, not dinner!
After we read we are going to make a flap-book to retell the story.
We are also going to read All About Turkeys by Jim Arnosky. I love pairing fiction and nonfiction titles on the same topic. After reading students are going to web four new facts they learned about turkeys.
