Kindergarten Activities for Thanksgiving FREE files are included in this blog post. This is going to be a LONG post because November is one of my favorite months so I have lots of things to share.
Pilgrims and Thanksgiving




My American girl doll because I love her.

My cat Zoe because she is sweet.

My Ellie because I love her so “mush”.

My granny’s billy goat because she loves the billy goat. But first I would have to find it.
Isn’t that sweet? She is thinking about her Granny instead of herself. Children have the sweetest little hearts!
These are all part of my Thanksgiving Math and Literacy Unit.
Interactive Writing




The First Thanksgiving
I love how the student above drew King James so big and the Pilgrims so small. Although my little sweetie probably didn’t do this intentionally I’m sure that is exactly how the Pilgrims felt.


Your blog is so resourceful.. Your students must love you!!!!!!
I love the cut part sentences! I hadn't thought of making a book with them though! Great ideas!

I love seeing your children's work. It is so precious. Thank you for the freebie. The kids will have a ball with that. I love how you included samples with the freebie to give the kids ideas. That helps so much.

Thanks Deanna Jump!
Enjoyed this post!
Are the Pilgrim People included in about of your TPT packs? I'm in love with them
Hi Melissa, The patterns are included in the Thanksgiving unit. 🙂 Thanks so much!
Hi Deanna, I just LOVE your products! I am holding a 100 follower giveaway on my blog (you commented on there last week…..the "Stop Sign" at the Guided Reading table.) It would mean the world to me if you'd consider donating a product towards my giveaway. After a year, I am just starting to break through that brick wall 🙂 If you're interested, you could e-mail me at thekindergartenpod@yahoo.com. Thanks for your consideration!
Hi Deanna,
You are such an inspiration for my new TpT account "Coach Academics".
Your blog inspires me to be a better teacher too!
Thanks!

Please post some info on assessments/grading! As a kg. teacher, I really struggle… is this too easy/hard? What do some of your current assessments look like in both reading and math? Do you have any type of common core checklists to keep track? What do your report cards look like…standard grade (a, b, c, d, f/ ESNU) or checklist type? HELP!!!!!!!!
Love the writing…..Makes me wish I were still active in my own classroom!!!
Looking forward to sharing at the Mississippi Conference in December 🙂
