Product Review: Thanksgiving Comprehension Activities

Hello All!

I know that many of you are enjoying a week off and be sure that I am completely envious. Although we get a half day on Wednesday, I am less than excited to be heading to the airport the evening before Thanksgiving. But I'm sure my bitterness will be all forgotten when I am eating pumpkin cheesecake on Thursday :)

Anyway, I bought a unit on TPT the beginning of this month and I am really loving it! I felt that Jessica Tobin from Second Grade Nest deserved a shout out!

Her unit comes with 5 Thanksgiving short stories with corresponding comprehension worksheets and they are fantastic! I've been using them for my Reading Comprehension center and I love that they correspond to my November Thanksgiving Theme. I saw that she just posted a Christmas unit as well, so I will absolutely purchase again. *Hint Jessica, if you do this for every month of the year, you have at least one loyal customer*

Thanksgiving Literacy Centers

Now that its November it's time for Thanksgiving Literacy Centers! I feel like we're barely in school in November with Veterans Day and Thanksgiving Break, but I've still been creating activities for the students when we ARE in school.

I've created 3 so far.

Punctuation Sort: Students sort sentences into statements, exclamatory phrases, or questions

Long U Vowel Sort: Students sort long U words by the long u phonics rule

A & E Vowel Sort: Students sort words into either Long A, Short A, Long E, or Short E.
