This is Gloria Gobbler's Sequel: You Can't Gobble Me
And you just have to love Can't Stuff This...
Here is a fun time filler engaging sight word activity.

Here is a fun song to add to your poetry journals.
This month will have also been working to earn feathers for good behavior...and reviewing shapes.
I am sorry for not blogging about this sooner but I've been running around like
a chicken...or turkey with its head cut off! Lol!
This adventure started with a letter from Mr. Gobbles.
He was on the run from the farmer. He wanted us to look for shapes that he had hidden around the school. As he was running around, his feathers were also falling out! Poor Mr. Gobbles.
After finding TONS of feathers and 6 different shapes,
we headed back to our classroom.
When we returned there, we had a package waiting for us.
Inside the package were shape riddles.
After we solved the riddles, we read another letter from Mr. Gobbles. He told us that he had been by our room but the farmer was still after him. He was so scared that when he was trying to talk that not all of the sounds in the word were coming out. We needed to help him find those missing letters and sounds.
To complete our adventure, we made Indian headbands. On the headbands, we made patterns with the shapes we solved riddles about. The kiddos had been working to earn feathers from Mr. Gobbles for making helpful and kind choices.
If you want to check this fun and engaging adventure out, hop over to my TPT store. :)
For those of you already celebrating and relaxing, think of us as
WE SURVIVE the next 2 days. =)
I hope everyone has a relaxing and fun filled time with family and friends. As I count my blessings, I remember each of you. =)
From My Heart to Yours,
Have a fantastic Thanksgiving, Heather!!! Thanks for the fun freebies, as always! I, too, will be in school for two days and am counting down. :)

I am in LOVE with your blog! I was in tears reading it. Such an inspiration - and so true. Edward Scissorhands exists in my room too, and booger eating, booty scratching, tooting little people. I love it! I am adding you to my favorite list.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to find your blog!

Haha, those turkeys made me smile!

I had to go to school Monday and Tuesday as well (first time in 8 years). My kids were home and had a good old time. I kept hoping some of my students might be absent (isn't that awful?), so we'd have a nice chillaxin' day. But no such luck. So now it's Wednesday, my turkey is still frozen, and my house is a mess!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving!
