Brain Warm-Ups

Use these pages for a first activity of the day (aka, “Morning Work”). Each one varies in style a bit to keep students on their toes and is designed to get in just a bit of thinking without overwhelming students with work.

Thanksgiving

Traveling for Thanksgiving? Check out these car activities to keep kids entertained on the road.

Melting Pot

This activity about American immigrants is great for Thanksgiving.

Veterans Day

Veterans Day Camo Wreath

Make this camo wreath for Veteran’s Day. Print this template, have children color sections at least two colors of green and at least two colors of neutral. Finish with a red, white, & blue bow!

Soldier Report

Use these templates to guide students in a research project about how the lives of American soldiers have changed over the years.

Teaching

Mix & Match Flip Book

Have children draw different people, animals, or made-up creatures on each page. Students then staple all pages together and cut on the dotted lines. The result will be a fun flip book they have made themselves to mix and match funny looking people or creatures.

Other ways to use this are making mix and match monsters for Halloween, having students draw themselves at the beginning of the year and making it a book for the classroom library, or drawing how to dress for each season.

Volume Templates

For finding the volume of an L-shaped figure, use this template with mini sticky notes in four different colors. Have students copy the dimensions of the shape in each way onto three sticky notes of the same color. Sticky notes of the same color may be swapped, but those of different colors may not. This can be especially helpful for students who get stuck on multiple-choice questions for L-shaped figures during tests.

My Star Report

Use this template to assign students a small research project about different stars. Accompany it with a 3-D model or a painted paper plate to represent their star.

Shhhhh! We don’t WANT to talk about Christmas yet…
