Yep…Halloween is officially over…thank goodness! Halloween week exhausts me! But even though I am exhausted, I am already thinking about our next holiday! I always like to get a jumpstart on my planning and printing, so I feel like I am ready to go and I actually accomplished something off of my NEVER ENDING list of “Things to Do!” It seems I have a lot of families that travel during the Thanksgiving break and I NEVER have a full class that short week! So I don’t like to teach any new concepts. I like to do a review of some of the topics that we already covered and of course teach about the Pilgrims and the Wampanoags.

I begin with several books and comprehension quizzes from my Guided Readers virtual book shelf including titles on Native Americans. Turkeys, Pumpkins, etc. Check out a few of these titles in the images below or CLICK HERE to sign up for a FREE account on Guided Readers today!
My Turkey Time Ideas & Activities
I don’t know if you have seen this yet, but Scholastic has an INCREDIBLE website filled with videos of Pilgrim Life, Wampanoag Life, and the info about the Mayflower. It is JAM-PACKED with incredible information. I am going to show my class all of the videos…that’s how good they are!
Click this image below to check out the Scholastic site! You will not be sorry!
After we watch the various video footage on the Pilgrims and the Wampanoags, we will complete my newest flip-flap book to do some Expository Writing. I’m not sure yet if I am only going to do the Pilgrims Flip-Flap Book or add in the Mayflower craftivity to it. I will prep for both or maybe give the kiddos the chance to choose what they want to do 🙂
