A Message From the Thanksgiving Turkey

Okay, I seriously love this set. :)  It is such a fun poem... Elijah cracked up at it the whole time, which is usually a good test to see if other kiddos will like it too.

This set includes an original poem, differentiated poetry writing sheets, question stems, question cards, question box labels, question (with partner talk) organizer, and inference organizer.  The great thing about all of these organizers is that they can be used with ANY Thanksgiving book. So really, the poem is just an added bonus with this.  :-)

Visit my TPT store to preview the entire set.  
Enjoy!

Young Thinkers Planning For Christmas

Can you believe it's already time to start planning for Christmas?  I decided to let my young thinker help me plan for the holidays in a more organized and focused fashion this year. I found this picture on pinterest that suggested kiddos get four gifts. One thing you want, one thing you need, one thing to wear, and one thing to read (or enjoy).

It was also a good opportunity for us to talk about wants vs needs.  I really like the simplicity of this.  Little E is enjoying thinking and planning for his wants and needs.  :)

Another Great Election Resource for HOME or SCHOOL

I just stumbled across this PBS Website that is great for young thinkers to learn about the candidates.

If you are looking for an more in depth discussion of the BIG IDEAS that each candidate supports then the Time For KIDS website may be your ticket.  

This could also be used with my BIG IDEAS Election Pack.
