My kiddos love Thanksgiving as well, so we do a lot fun things. This week we have incorporated Thanksgiving and being thankful into our daily activities. With my students, especially the ones with autism, they constantly remind me that next week is Thanksgiving Break. Since it is on the top of their mind, why not put an educational spin on it!
I created this product, Thanksgiving in the Special Education Classroom. This product is full of math, writing and reading activities. All of these activities align is some form or fashion to my students individual IEP goals.Click the picture below to get yours today!
Included are two early readers that are great for your students to read and then color. There is also a version that the students trace the words, then read it and color. My students loved reading Thanksgiving Dinner and talking about things they love to eat for Thanksgiving.
Students think of sentences to go along with these Thanksgiving foods. We talked about the sentences first, and then they students verbally told me there sentences. I wrote them on a sticky note and they copied. It was so fun to hear their thoughts and ideas. Some of them really got into it!
What I am Thankful For! This is an oldie, but a goodie! We have to really talk about things that we are thankful for and give examples. A lot of my students wanted just to say "turkey". There was a lot of prep involved in talking about how blessed we are and all the good things in our lives. Once we talked about gave examples, they were much more successful. I wrote with highlighter for a lot of my students and then they traced.
This is just a glimpse of what all if included in Thanksgiving in the Special Education Classroom! I hope you found this useful!
