Less than $5 2nd Grade Reading Literature Circles (by date, oldest first)

Use this activity to sequence the events in There was an Old Lady who Swallowed a Turkey. Each event is pictured on a turkey feather that, when completed, creates an adorable turkey that sequences the story. Print on cardstock to make it more durable or mat it on a large piece of construction paper. Students will color and cut out the turkey feathers and body, glue them together, and have a great "craftivity" that tells what happens in this adorable book.

This is included in my sequencing activity bundle available here.

This template can be used with ANY book. I chose to use Spookley the Square Pumpkin as an example. Print and go; easy to assemble with minimal help. Pre-cut the pieces for students who need it.

These fall activities will get your class in the seasonal spirit! Apples, pumpkins, and leaves team up to help your students practice skills such as counting, single digit addition, graphing, and even sequencing events. From no-prep to low-prep, these ELA and math activities are the perfect addition to your classroom.
