Talking Turkey - Story Structure
This week we started talking about all things
Thanksgiving!! Pilgrims, Native
Americans, and of course TURKEYS!! My
students love read alouds. I start my
Daily 5 time with a read aloud each day.
Today we read The Perfect
Thanksgiving by Eileen
Spinelli.
After we read the book the students completed
this graphic organizer to practice recalling the Characters, Setting, Problem, and Solution from the text. They did
such a good job.
If you are interested I have this graphic organizer and more like it for sale HERE!!
This week also using TONS of ideas from CaraCarroll’s thanksgiving pack: Let’s Give Thanks!! We are
using these centers during literacy and math.

The Lonley Scarecrow - FREEBIE
Last week we finished the week by learning more
about Fall and Scarecrows. I read The Lonely Scarecrow by Tim
Preston.
This book is about a little scarecrow that is so lonely. No one wants to be his friend because he looks so scary. Until winter comes and he is covered in SNOW, then he is NO longer scary. He isn’t a scarecrow…. he is a snowman. Now the animals aren’t afraid of him and they want to be his friend.
After reading the story, we worked on recalling
the scarecrows feeling and how those feelings changed throughout the story. Common Core Standards: RL 1.4 Identify words and phrases in stories or poems that suggest feelings or appeal to the sentences. And RL 1.7 Use illustrations and details in a story to describe its characters, settings, or events.
During word work this week we practice finding
and writing words from the word wall. You
can find this activity here!
