We’re back for a
#whatimplanningwednesday post! Search the hashtag on Instagram to see what
other teachers are planning!
Our classrooms are in full
fall mode these days! Our new social studies unit is all about the first
Thanksgiving. We started this unit focusing on TheVoyage on the Mayflower.
Then we studied the Wampanoag
tribe and their influence on the pilgrims.
This week we’re studying life
in Plymouth Colony.
Because next week is a 3-day week,
we’re planning a mini first Thanksgiving
research activity, using our research booklet.
Our pocketbooks are clear,
systematic, and follow the same routine each week which ensures success for our
students! Not only are our students in routine, but so are we. The pocketbooks
are easy to assemble and are able to be completely modified, if needed. Both
Double Dose teachers work in self-contained classrooms and our aides are always
commenting about how much they learn, too!
We’ve also been planning some fun fall
math craftivities to keep our kiddos engaged. Our school schedule has been
a little off lately, between Halloween, Veteran’s Day, and the upcoming
Thanksgiving holiday. To keep our students on task, we incorporated these fun
craftivities to review our skills so far. These are perfect for kindergarten
and first grade!
Last week we counted by 10s with
this leaf craftivity.
Show us your plans by using the
