It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!

What a lovely week!  We had 2 wonderful family thanksgivings full of cousins, family, laughter, and great food!  I can't even begin to list all of the things I am thankful for, but a wonderful family is at the top of my list!  Having a job that I LOVE and being a part of my students lives every day is also pretty high on the list! We celebrated Thanksgiving with our students on Tuesday with a traditional Charlie Brown Thanksgiving!  The popcorn was cooked to perfection and the jellybeans were the right combination of sweet and chewy!  #charliebrownthanksgiving

 The 2nd best part of Thanksgiving?  BLACK FRIDAY!  It has been a girl's tradition in our family to shop, and even though my mom's recent health hasn't been great, we still were able to go! We did wait to go until 8 AM.  :)   We got tons of great deals!  I will admit to doing a ton of on-line shopping on Thanksgiving morning!  I am excited to get all our packages delivered this week!

Today has been cleaning and lesson planning!  #funisover
 
My students love using songs as practice for reading!  They keep mini-books in their book boxes and pull them out during silent reading.We will highlight our word wall words and there is a writing prompt at the end of each song.  You can click on the picture to take a look!

Turkey Tasks



We have been going crazy with the turkey centers in math!  Our objectives have been adding and subtracting word problems and fluency.  {common core standards 1.OA.1, 1.OA.2, 1.OA.6, 1.OA.8} We have also been working on numbers to 120 and starting place value. {1.NBT.1, 1.NBT.2}

Here are some of our tubs!

Turkey roll and color! 1.OA.6

 Missing Numbers 1.NBT.1
 Turkey Clip Its 1.OA.6

Turkey in the Straw game 1.OA.6

This  week, we are making these cutie headband turkeys to practice fact families.  The 2 parts are the number of each color of feather.




We will also be playing my new Feasting on Facts Game.  I even bought a Dollar Store roasting pan to put my food pieces!



Students match the food cards to the target number on their plate.  We are practicing addition, subtraction, counting money, tally marks, and number words all in one fun game!!!  It is also in my TpT shop!



I am probably keeping this one out until Christmas!  There are a lot of good skills to practice!!!






Thanks for peeking in! 
 Hope you have a great week!
