In November, our themes include a Fall recap along with the Election, Veterans Day, and World Kindness Day. Wrapped up in all of this fun is a tribute to turkeys! The kids love learning all about animals and where they live, what they eat, and what they do. Weekly thematic anchor charts are a must in kindergarten, as we refer to them throughout our daily discussions. The kids rely on them for writing, too! This turkey anchor chart is our go-to for turkey time!  Turkey Books for KindergartenSome of our favorite read alouds about Thanksgiving include 'Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving by Dav Pilkey, Turkey Trouble by Wendi Silvano, There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed a Turkey by Lucille Colandro and How to Catch a Turkey by Adam Wallace. We love how silly these stories are; they make us giggle so much! In math, we create turkey shape crafts. There's a counting sheet that goes along with it, and the kids are so engaged throughout our turkey math lesson!  Of course, you can't read Turkey Trouble without a turkey in disguise project! Kids love disguising their turkeys so they won't get eaten for Thanksgiving dinner! Here's another turkey shape craft for math! The kids love creating their very own pets to take home!

I like to let the kids choose how to end their sentence based on their interests. Some kids write more details but most stick to one sentence at this point in the year. Then, they add a detailed picture so we can display their wonderful work in the hallway!  Turkey Bulletin Board DisplayWe topped our writing projects with our math crafts for a Thanksgiving bulletin board display!  Thanksgiving Turkey Snack for KidsI love, love, love giving kids the tools to make something and saying, “Go!” I also love showing them an end result of what I had in mind. Then I remind them that no one is wrong, but everyone has unique ideas that make their creations special. They’re all so proud of what they create, and some make adjustments to their projects, while others leave them as is. I love to see how unique the kids are in their thought processes, too!  Even I make them different from year to year!  Turkey Handprint and Poem KeepsakeThis little Thanksgiving pack is my favorite, for all of the heartfelt mom reasons! Both items are the SWEETEST THANKSGIVING KEEPSAKES! I paint the kids' hands for a cute little handprint turkey...such a classic! I also take pictures of the kids posed like turkeys, and we add craft pieces to them. They think these are just the SILLIEST crafts!
