Thanksgiving Foldables

 
I was wandering around the house going to myself, "What can I do?".   The baby was asleep, the little boys were out on the farm, and all the other children were busy.
 
So I flicked through some printed worksheets that I had on my kitchenette and noticed that I had some from my thanksgiving pack, then I thought I'd do up a quick sample as an idea of what one can do with it.  :o)
 
So I cut it out and folded it. Then I colored it. :o)
 
 
Then I wrote my own little HFW sentences.  Trying to be realistic as to what a Kindergarten to Grade 2 student might write.
 
 
I did it like this so that when one opened it up you would read about the picture that you could still see.
 
 
Then I found another foldable and added that to my background page as well, so you could see how the two of them would fit side by side.
 
 
Anyway, I hope this gives you some additional ideas as to what to use these pages for.  :o)
 
Thanks for visiting.

Thanksgiving Update

 
I've done a little UPDATE on the Thanksgiving pack.
 
Here's what I added.  Just click the picture to see it bigger.
 
 
Don't forget to go and re-download this FREE update if you've already purchased it.
 
Note for others:  Once you purchase a book from me, if I update it you can download them each time for FREE at no extra charge AND they stay in your purchases page so that if you lose your file you can come back and download it for free again.  :o)  Ok, clear as mud - I have a baby on my lap and hubby calling me to come and pick out clothes for the other girls.  Must run. 
 
Love  ya's.
 
Thanks everyone. :o)

Thanksgiving Maths

 
 
Here's an opportunity to practice greater than and less than with the 2x tables.
 
There is both a greater than and a less than work matt in the pack.
 
 
Skip counting by 2 cards.
 
 
More skip counting.

 
Yep, you guessed it.  More skip counting.

 
And recording worksheets.

 
And while we are talking Thanksgiving I just want to let you know that I tweaked my Thanksgiving packet and added some more pages:
 


And I added PHOTOS for some of the finished products.

 
 
And time for me to link up and share in the larger community at:

Thanksgiving

 
Today is going to be a good day.  Yep, a good day for you.
 
Today I'm sharing my Thanksgiving packet with you for FREE.  For a limited time though.
 
Oh and don't forget to check out the other stuff that's in the packet HERE.
 
There's a cut and paste vocabulary page.
 
 
Some stick puppets for creative play.
 

Label the Turkey.
 

 
Writing paper for .......writing.
 
 
Had, Were, Did pages.  ( I had a heap of formating issues with these pages, so they are still a bit higgety piggety all over the place.)  The combination of border, clipart, and word art made it chuck a fit and it would dump the word art.  I did manage to get some good pages out of it though.
 
 
A cut and foldable.  Cut out, fold and cut to separate the two sets of peoples.
 
 
So that when you open the top half you can write about the Indians.
 
 
Then you can open up the bottom and write about the Pilgrims.
 
 
I've also included a basic hat template.  It's not a one step, two step, three step done though.  It's just the idea of a hat for an idea.
 
 
I do hope you enjoy the unit.
 
Let me know if there's anything else you think would work in it.  I'd like to finish it off and put a price tag on it.  :o)
 
Thanks for much for visiting.

Thanksgiving Sneak Peek

I just thought that I'd drop in and give you a sneak peek into a couple of the activities that I've put in my new Thanksgiving book.

This particular activity has 3 pages to print. 

This is the base page.  I've cut it down a little so that it would fit on the colored background paper.  Not necessary, but I just wanted it to look nicer.

The second page - which goes over on top is colored and cut down to fit over the base page.  Each person strip is separated by cutting along the line.

That way when you lift a person up it reveals a space behind them.


The words and pictures are from the 3rd page for this activity.  That way if your students can't read / draw - no problem.  It's all done for them.  All they have to do is color, cut and paste.  But for the older or more competant children, you can just have them draw or write in the space provided. 

I love that I can give this activity to all 3 of my girls and differentiate it to their level. 



Another activity that I included was 3 accordion books.  They are just mini High Frequency Word books to make.  I've included instructions on how to make the accordion book bases too.

Here's one of them done already.  This is the front cover. 


This story is about what they each brought to Thanksgiving, and works well with the previous activity.



I also have a few other gems in the book as well.  Can't wait to do show and tell with them too.  I just need my little guinea pigs darling children to come play.  LOL

I am hoping that I will have this book uploaded soon.  Sort of thinking that I might still tweak it a little. 

Thanks for visiting.
