November Classroom Activities

Posted by Alex Sharp Nov 8, 2009

Here is a list of the November-related articles I have written, which may be of use for some teachers.

For Veteran's Day, here are two of the three podcasts I will be using with my advisory group. The third podcast will be by President Truman, but it doesn't really follow the theme of welcoming home veterans. It is something that I feel my students will be interested in - I can post our discussion questions later. (If you need a better podcatcher - here are some choices, but NPR can stream them online.)

Thanksgiving Games for Middle School -- the name says it all, right? The picture of the hand turkey I used with the article is by Brandon Schauer, a very clever and talented artist, and that would be a lovely activity right there. I have another game I am getting ready, I hope I will have some clever pictures for you.

Finally, some all purpose holiday games ...

Happy Teaching!
