November Read Aloud Books, Class Decor & STEM Activities
Do you notice that once the Month of November comes you feel rushed to cram in all the things? That’s why I have fall activities and read-aloud activities to share. National Author’s Day was November 1st but it’s still a great time to motivate our scholars to celebrate their writing and encourage their imaginations! We know that the authors we celebrate the most are the STUDENTS we teach!
Students love to write but often are not always able to come up with an idea to write. Here is one of my favorite fall activities to add to your writing stations:
Thanksgiving Thankful Turkey Craft
I created this Thanksgiving Thankful Turkey resource to accompany your Thanksgiving lesson plans for the celebration of this theme in November. This "Thankful Turkey" craft makes a great Thanksgiving Craft or Fall Craft Display.

Thanksgiving Turkey parts in large
Thanksgiving Turkey parts in small
Examples to use as a guide for students to use
