Frosty the Snowman Grammar Practice Book (Upper Grades)

Here’s a grammar practice book I put together to squeeze in a little more grammar during the holidays. Each day (there are 6 days’ worth) the students read part of the story and do some simple grammar exercises with the passage. Then they are asked to illustrate the passage (built-in fast finisher for your quicker students). I’m doing these as daily warm ups, but it’s go well pretty much anywhere I think. Happy holidays!

NOTE: A second grade teacher emailed me about her experience with this packet. She said her kids were fine on everything but the first page, which was a little bit hard for them. She says the rest of the pages will be the perfect challenge for them, as well as upper grades.

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?).
