Hello friends and welcome to my blog.
I am enjoying some family time and relaxation during my wonderful Thanksgiving Break. I hope all my teacher friends are getting a lot of rest.
I thought I would share a few things my Kinder Class did the week before thanksgiving. I love theme weeks and our Kindergarten throws a big feast on the last day before the break. The students work so hard all week preparing and learning about thanksgiving.
As a fun new classroom incentive my students earn feathers all week for good behavior. On Friday the students use their feathers to create their Native American Hat that they will wear to the feast. This is a great classroom management idea because I tell my students the more feathers the better their hat will look.
My students get one feather to write something they are thankful for. Look how sweet my class was this year.
All week we talk about the pilgrims and the first thanksgiving. After explore the pilgrims and what it was like living in America so long ago the students make a pilgrim craft. They then write what they would do if they were a pilgrim and glue it on their pilgrim.
Here is Mr. and Mrs. Johnson as Pilgrims!
My students also do a Thanksgiving Count the Room. You can get it here at my Teachers Pay Teachers site.
Here is the final product of my Kindergarten classroom. We are ready for the Thanksgiving Feast!
