    Thanksgiving Classroom Ideas

    Need Thanksgiving Classroom Ideas?

    Planning a Thanksgiving Math Activity?


    There are great ideas for Thanksgiving classroom parties. It doesn’t have to be an elaborate party or project. Students are content and happy with a small Thanksgiving activity. Here are some tips for having a successful Thanksgiving party in your classroom. Try one or all of these tips and your students will have a great time in your classroom this year!

     Try an activity with food or with paper food.

    1. Limit Food Consumption. 

    Depending on your school policy for Thanksgiving and other holidays, error on the side of less is more. Students will want to have food, pie, and share in this wonderful friendly holiday tradition. In preparation have a small food related activity for students to celebrate success or good behavior (if school policy allows it). An alternative to food is a free homework pass. It's a sugar free reward system that students will find value in. 

    Talk about Thanksgiving Meal Costs.

    2. Place Book Bags in Front of Room. 

    Keeping book bags in the front of the classroom allows for less distractions. Students are less tempted to get in their bag for more items. Your classroom will have less behavior problems, less time talking about the book bags and other items, and more time focused on learning.

    Review math skills with Thanksgiving Coloring activities and games.


    3. Plan a Thanksgiving Math or Black Friday Activity. 

    Your entire lesson plan does not have to be Thanksgiving based, but if you acknowledge the day with a short activity, your students might be more engaged. Creating an environment to celebrate and acknowledge fun holidays is always helpful in developing rapport with your students. Would having a in class be helpful in building relationships with students? Do your students ? Try a new Thanksgiving activity with them this year.


    Happy Thanksgiving!

    Summer Math Coloring

    Do you need a fun student work bulletin board?

    Do your students need a fun review of math?

    Are you ready for Summer Math coloring?


    It's fun to get students to color in Math. They often don't realize that they're doing math because they are doing it differently. Students answer the questions, then color the pictures according to their answers. It's a great way to get students to practice math skills and have some coloring fun!

    Summer Math Coloring Fluency


    Math fluency is important for students to practice. Some of the math skills that Upper Elementary students need practice with are operations with multiplication and division. These skills will help students to have better number sense. The best way to become better at math is to practice!

    6th Grade Middle School Math Stations

    Do you use Math Stations in your classroom?

    Do you want to help your students review in a meaningful way?

    Do you want to engage your students in the Math content?

    I was hesitant at first when I started using Math Stations, but quickly found out how valuable they are!

    Math Stations (also called Math Workshops) is a system of different types of activities in the classroom for the students to complete based on the same topic. I have created the 6th Grade Math Stations BUNDLE to cover all of the Math topics related to grade six and also cover all of the sixth grade common core standards.


    These Math Stations activities are helpful to students in that they review concepts, practice Math, apply Math, and read about the Math in the real world. There are many different ways you can use these stations as they are versatile for the teacher to pick and choose which ones you want to use on any given day. If you already use Math stations in your classroom these can complement your set with additional practice and applications for students to review Common Core Standards.


    This Middle School Math Station Bundle is a COMPLETED BUNDLE covering ALL 6th grade Common Core Standards! 


    Included are the following Math Stations:

    There are many different ways to incorporate the math stations in your classroom. I have used book bins (from Lakeshore Learning) to keep them organized and easily accessible for the students.

    This is a great resource for your students to be actively engaged in the learning process. Students gain self-confidence and own their learning process when they are given the chance to work independently on Math Stations. Students are always asking "when is math station day?" That's a great feeling to know your students enjoy the learning process and want to work independently at school. 

    Happy Teaching!
