About Squarehead Teachers

Well, I’m a travel loving, cookie eating, bright color obsessed teacher who just can’t get enough of blogging or Photoshop. I’ve taught various grades from Kindergarten to Undergraduate courses in both in the United States and in China, teaching everything from dance and PE to English and math. I come from a family of educators, and believe that all teachers (public, private, charter and home school) are grossly under appreciated and deserve a little extra help. I started my Squarehead Teachers blog in August 2012 with the hope that I can be that extra little help that makes teachers feel a little more loved!

Fun Thanksgiving Songs

5 Fat Turkeys

5 Fat Turkeys are we,

We slept all night in a tree,

when the cook came around,

we couldnt be found,

and thats why were here, you see. 

Here’s a video it you want to hear the tune…

This Old Road

This old road is hard and bumpy,

our new turkeys wild and jumpy,

driver, driver, not so jerky,

Or youll make us lose our turkey.

Sorry, I couldn’t find the tune anywhere on the internet, and I’m not the greatest singer…

 

Here’s another great collection of Thanksgiving Songs.

Thanksgiving Picture Math Worksheet

It’s never too early for kids to start learning algebra concepts. Teaching 6th grade, I always used pictures to teach algebra, because (for some reason) it was easier for the kids to have a picture in a math problem than a letter. So here’s to early algebra learning! So here’s a simple addition worksheet and a multiplication worksheet to practice with!

Thanksgiving Decoding Worksheets (free!)

My students seem to love to decode things, so I made these 3 Thanksgiving worksheets for decoding. I count them as logic practice. Each code has multiple versions so you can select the one most appropriate for your class. The versions are: the easy version (A- might work for 2nd/3rd grades with teacher scaffolding?), medium version (B- might work for 3/4th grades?) and a hard version (C- might work for 5th/6th grades?).

Answers:

Code 1:What is blue and covered with feathers? A turkey holding its breath!
Code 2: Why did the turkey play drums in his band? Because he already had drumsticks!
Code 3: When the Pilgrims landed, where did they stand? On their feet!
