FREE MISC. LESSON – “Thanksgiving Grocery Store Trip {CBI}”

This entry was posted in 1st Grade 2nd Grade 3rd Grade MISC. LESSONS Thanksgiving and tagged free on October 28, 2015 by Patrice Manchola (updated on October 30, 2015)

by Mrs Ds Corner

1st – 3rd Grade

This activity was created to accompany my students on our Thanksgiving Curriculum Based Instruction (CBI) trip.

Here is how I used it:
– First, print the pages on card stock and laminate. Cut them out and Velcro the backs of the small aisle pieces. This makes it easy for students to graph the data in the grocery store, rather than writing it down.
– When you are in the grocery store, each student will get 1-4 pieces of the larger pictures of food to locate inside the grocery store. I laminate these and use a key ring to hold them together.
– As students are locating the items in the grocery store, have them take note of what aisle or where they found the items. I, also, have students write the prices of the items, or at least say the price and I will keep track of the record of prices.
– When the CBI is finished and we are back at school (same day or next day), we sequence the day. Then we take a look at where we found each item. We make a graph to see if we found any of the items in the same aisle or department of the store.
– We then look at the prices of each food. I have students make a hypothesis of what they think our Thanksgiving meal would cost to purchase. We use our estimating/rounding skills to get a general idea of how much money it would be. We, then, use calculators (I teach Life Skills) to add up the cost.

Thanks for Looking and Happy Teaching!

LESSONS and tagged 5 Halloween Friends on the Wall 5 Halloween Friends song 99 Bottles of Beer Canadian teachers Canadian TpTers Counting backwards early learning Giveaway Grade 1 grade 2 Halloween Blog Hop Halloween FREEBIE Halloween Math and Literacy Fun Halloween song kindergarten number stories reading fluency subtraction Tricks & Treats Halloween Blog Hop on October 20, 2015 by That Fun Reading Teacher

Happy almost Halloween everyone! I am so excited to be participating in this Halloween Blog Hop! There are lots of great teacher tips, lessons and freebies along the way, so I hope you’re able to visit each store for inspiration and (who’s kidding who!) the awesome freebies! And check this out:

You’ll see the Rafflecopter machine a little further down. But first, I thought I’d take you down memory lane..

Did you used to sing the classic song 99 Bottles of Beer, with its stick-in-your-brain-forever melody and uncanny ability to teach even the most math-challenged among us to rote count backwards from 100?

I did, and it stuck so much that, years ago, I changed the words and created an activity to go with it. Its adhesive quality remains.

The activity:

Print enough freebies for your entire class, and one for yourself. You’ll also see options for the color version at the bottom of this post.
Plan enough time for each student to take a turn at the board. You’ll see why in a minute!
Have some early finishers color and cut out your freebie, mount on sturdy paper, laminate if you wish, and place magnets on the back for use on a magnetic surface.
Gather the class and draw a wall for your characters to stand on. If you have not read the story with them (optional purchase pictured below), then introduce the activity by discussing their thoughts regarding standing on high walls, predictions about what could happen etc. Throughout the course of the song, one character will be falling at a time.
Now, warm up that singing voice! “Mi, mi, mi…”
Give each child a chance to make a character fall from the wall as you sing this song:

5 Halloween friends on the wall,
5 Halloween friends …

If 1 of these friends has a big fall,
How many friends are left on the wall?

4 Halloween friends on the wall,
4 Halloween friends …

If 1 of these friends has a big fall,
How many friends are left on the wall?

3 Halloween friends on the wall,
3 Halloween friends …

If 1 of these friends has a big fall,
How many friends are left on the wall?

And you simply continue this way until there is one friend left on the wall.

7. Invite your students to discuss what they noticed or found interesting about the song / story. Were there any patterns? Does anyone think that there was math in the story? How could a number sentence be written about what just happened?

8. Have fun!

Now back to the fun for the grown-ups! Here’s the secret word for the Rafflecopter machine…

And grab your freebie below! The story and activity book with color cut-outs is also available here.

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you enjoy this freebie from Smartkinderkids!

With this freebie, you get a brightly colorful and happy smartboard puzzle. Students can work whole group, small group, or individually to sequence the puzzle from 2-20 (skip counting by 2s).

This freebie can also be used as an Assessment Tool by teachers to determine if students can count by 2s.

If you like this product, please consider leaving positive feedback in my TpT store and checking out more Smartboard products! I love Smartboard files because I ensure that my students are actively engaged in their learning, are developing fine motor skills as well as technology skills. The biggest plus as a teacher, besides knowing your kids are learning and having fun, is that you don’t have to search for space to store the items as in traditional center games – just save to a thumb drive and VOILA – you are set for next fall. I hope you enjoy!

Sincerely,

Halloween Spooks-Creative Writing for Middle School

By Deann Marin of Socrates Lantern

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving has always been one of my favorite tales.. When I was a child, we would often visit my Uncle Marty who had a farm near Tarrytown New York. Whenever we were up there, I would think of the Headless Horseman because that’s where the story took place. I could always visualize the Horseman with head in hand, chasing poor puny Ichabod Crane.
