Important Georgians

So next week we decided to continue our study of Georgia's history, including three important Georgians: Mary Musgrove, Tomochichi, and Jame Oglethorpe. The problem was there isn't anything cute out there! The texts from our series is dry and not that kid friendly. So we made these to help us teach the concept. We even wrote extended texts for our reading lessons. We will be using the texts with All about ... organizers. Then we are making the Who Am I? pockets. The arms came out a little wonky, but the kids always like an outline to follow. We thought it would be fun for the kids to write clues about the person and then use voice to share the clues. We went ahead and posted these activities on TPT... as we thought others may want something different to do.

We're getting ready for Thanksgiving this week! The Pilgrim diorama and writing project is available as the free preview for our Thanksgiving unit on TPT. The kids loved it last year and were able to add their own artwork to our simple drawings. They also used the graphic organizer to write a brief summary of the first Thanksgiving. This year we're doing a play! We have some real hams who will love it!Click here to download preview

Bats 'nSpiders and Place Value!

 

 We are reviewing Unit 1 this week and thought that these Place Value Pumpkin s would look really cute displayed under our bats and spiders Informational writing projects.

After gathering facts about the differences in frogs and toads, our students were eager to write an informational paragraph to reflect their new knowledge.

Our students had a great time learning about a spider's body parts, diet, and habitat.
