The Great Turkey Race 

Craft and Google Slides

We read these three books every year in November.  The kids get such a kick out of the characters:  Ollie, Cassie and Wing.

My friend, Meg, DREW the characters ... Can you believe she DREW them?!?!  When I draw I need to google "how to draw a turkey for kindergarten, simple" lol.  Check out how cute they look in the hallway.  Each kid had an option to make Ollie, Cassie, or Wing.  We have not done this craft yet, but every time we walk by her class on the way to lunch, my class always asks, "When are we making those?!?" 

 I keep telling Meg that the running puffs of smoke look like farts... what do you think?  'Leave your opinion in the comments.  HAHAH 😛

Head over to her TPT store to find out more about this craft:  The Suchoboky Store

💻Great Turkey Race - Digital Slides

Last year I created these google slides to go with the book The Great Turkey Race.  I didn't think that with Covid being "over" that I would ever use Google Slides again.  There are a few that I go back to, that I did not expect to... The Great Turkey Race being one of them.

 My good friend just started a new TPT store.  Go check it out.  She is super creative and such an artist.  Here are some of her products.  I am in love with the Great Turkey Race craft... my class had so much fun picking their favorite turkey.

Isn't this book just the cutest?  I created some google slide activities to go with it.  All the slides are geared towards building their comprehension (sequencing, comprehension quick check, character traits, using evidence, favorite part, cause and effect, opinion writing, text to self connections, and vegetable sorting)

Here are some sample pics of the slides I created...

This is an amazing tool to have when planting seeds (TIP:  carrots take a long time to grow big, so do what I did... buy a carrot at the grocery store and throw it in towards the end! :). )

This is similar to the one I have on amazon.  Click on the product to bring you to the amazon link:

Here are some more that I would think about purchasing for the classroom:

 The Snowy Day.... Does anyone not love this book?  This is probably my favorite book to read to my class.   I can't let those distance learners miss out on this amazing book.   There is so much missing when you are not in the classroom... the conversations, the teachable moments, etc...my hope is that this resource helps you during these times!

Have a fun with a  snowy day!

 

 Hip! Hip! Hooray!  It's the 100th Day!

This is by far one of the most favorite days in a Kindergartener's life!  They get so excited for this big day.  We are lucky enough to be fully in school learning this year and I plan to use these digital activities in the classroom.    I hope that they are helpful for those teaching and learning virtually as well.  They are made with Google Slides and you can pick and choose which slides you want for your particular students. For example, on the slide that I have them count by 5's and 10's, I gave you 2 options: type in the answers OR drag the correct numbers... Some teachers and students like to drag their answers, and some like to type.  What is your preference?

This unit includes 14 different literacy and math activities:

Happy 100th Day!
