Sharing Sunday: Thanksgiving Goodies and Freebies

This is my first Sharing Sunday post and I had a blast discovering some new Thanksgiving resources. In kindergarten this is one of our Social Studies Standards and one of my absolute favorite topics to teach. I'm linking up with my Primary Peach buddies to make planning easier during this busy time of year. Click on the images below to download the PDFs. In the PDF file, all of the images are hyperlinks and will take you directly to  each resource. 

Make sure to head over to The Primary Peach to see more amazing November resources.

Flipped Learning in K!

After reading The Flipped Reading Block by Gina Pasisis this summer with my friends Maggie's Kindercorner and Mrs. Price's Kindergators we were were inspired to plan some lessons of our own. This is the first lesson I've created for my students, which addresses one of our GPS Science standards.  I created this slideshow in Shadow Puppet and then dropped it into each one of my students' journals.                           

I found this video on You Tube, which teaches the animal babies in such a fun, interactive way. She also labels both the mother and the baby as she sings the songs. My students really enjoyed this!

I also attached a sheet for my students to complete after they watched the slideshow and the video.

Retelling of "The Recess Queen"

This week our students practiced retelling familiar stories. They absolutely loved "The Recess Queen" and had a blast doing the oral retelling before we used the ipads. The Showme app is great for creating multiple pages and doing voice overs.
