Five Little Turkeys by the Learning Station

If you have another day of school with your honeys before the Thanksgiving break hopefully this song by the Learning Station will make is go by faster! I love this version of Five Little Turkeys.

Thanksgiving with Scholastic Day Eight of Ten Days of Technology for First Grade

This is a wonderful video series by Scholastic about the first Thanksgiving. All of the videos are done by actors in authentic dress and help the children make that crucial connection between then and now. Today we watched the video about the Mayflower in my class. The children were fascinated and it really held their interest. I love that the children get a peek inside the lives of the Pilgrims and Wompanoag. I hope you will check out this series of virtual field trips from Scholastic. Scholastic has a wealth of wonderful materials for you to use in your classroom. Enjoy,

Thanksgiving - Multimedia Teaching Unit

 We have enjoyed using this unit from Scholastic in our first grade classes for several years.  It has a lot of resources and the videos are especially good since we know that the little ones have a difficult time looking back in history.  Hard to imagine a time when there wasn't a big box store on most every corner. I hope you find it useful.
