Color a Turkey FREEBIE

When reviewing foundational skills with my students in my small groups, I like and need to hear responses from each student individually. To give it an extra boost of fun, I reward my students for correct responses by having them do the following:

How do you use this?

Simply print the document and cut it into the four strips.

Have your kiddos write their names on the back.

As you complete your planned activity, have the student color in a turkey for each correct response.

So simple, but the kids love it!!

This could be used in so many ways, with any type of skill!! What will you use it for?

And don't forget to head over to Teaching Blog Addict for some other great FREEBIES!

Hurricane Sandy-Teachers Help Teachers

Hurricane Sandy was nasty.

She came and left a path of destruction in the Northeast that it has never seen before. Some of my loved ones are still without power and/or are displaced from their homes. It has been almost two long, and cold weeks. Others lost every little thing they own.

Laurah over at The ESOL Odyssey is organizing a movement to help other teachers affected by Sandy, called:

She is reaching out to those who have create materials to share or own a store on TPT or TN, and would like to donate some products to help other teachers in need.

Click on the picture above and then follow the directions on Laurah's page. It is so easy and every little bit helps. She will be working hard to gather the products and distribute them to schools and teachers in need. Teachers of all grade levels are encouraged to participate.

Will you help out too?

Thank you Laurah for doing this!
