Lesson Planning with Me!: Feed the Turkey

Lesson Planning with Me

Hello! I teach an integrated preschool classroom, which means I am responsible for students ages three to five with special needs of all types as well as typical developing students. My students range in ability from a toddler to a typical kindergartener. Therefore, my activities must be able to reach a wide range and be easily adjusted for multiple ability levels.

I created this blog as a way to keep track of the fantastic ideas I have gathered over the years. Because I just randomly add activities to the blog, use the search, standard list, or theme list on the left side to find the activities you are after!

I also create and sell resources that can be found at TeachersPayTeachers and Teacher's Notebook.

From: Pre-K Pages

Setting: Small Group, Math Centers

Objective: Number Sense

Materials: empty Pringles cans, tape, brown construction paper, Sharpie marker, X-acto knife, colored construction paper for feathers, scissors, glue stick, unpopped popcorn kernels.

Directions: Cover each Pringles can with brown paper and secure with tape. Cut turkey bodies from the brown paper and attach to the front of each Pringles can with tape. Cut feathers from the colored construction paper and attach to the back of each turkey with glue stick or tape. Cut through the turkey’s mouth and can using the X-acto knife. Write one number on each turkey with a Sharpie. Place the un-popped popcorn in a pie pan or bowl. Place the Pringles can turkeys and the pan of popcorn at a table and have students count the correct number of kernels into each turkey’s mouth.
