The Great Thanksgiving Challenge!!!!

Students who bring in a note on the first day they return from break listing what educational activities they did during break receive a special prize (not Caught Being Good coupons or something from the regular prize box).  Students can read, write, practice math problems, play online games (if you do the activities on the blog and comment on them, no note is needed).  A list of activities or actual work will be accepted. 

Here are some ideas!  Check back throughout the break for other ideas or come up with some of your own.  Have fun!

Write and illustrate a first, next, then, last story (like the one where we wrote how to catch a turkey) about your Thanksgiving day.

Find objects around your house and play The Drop Game.  Record your results. The Drop Game is similar to Draw the Line.  


Play an online math or reading game.  Copy and paste the link into the comment box and write about what you learned while playing it.


Read a book of your choice.  


Have fun!!!!

I used grouping by tens to count to 100. It was my favorite activity on the AAA math site.

Johnny wrote a grocery list of thanksgiving items (in folder), practiced sight word bingo, marbles addition, and the magnet spelling game on abcya. In his sketch book, he practiced math sentences.
