Amazing phonological awareness and math thanksgiving fun in kindergarten can happen easily with a few simple ideas. Check out all the cool things we do in kindergarten to make the month of November a time filled with engaging activities to develop phonological awareness and to develop math skills.
Amazing Phonological Awareness and Phonics Fun
We used the Turkey Wheel of Fun to find beginning sounds, letter id, and phonological awareness!
We have to turn the light off to see the turkey with the document camera.

We tried to lay on the floor to color but it is hard so we traded positions if we became too tired! Remember laying down to draw and write will build upper body strength! Info about building better writers CLICK HERE! The OT happened to walk in as we were coloring! Yeah! She thinks we are great!

Amazing Phonological Awareness Activities for November
Singing!
We practice singing our Pilgrim song! It helped us learn so many facts! We also tried to use sign language!
Boy, that is a lot to remember!
Making Native American Toys!
Stick, yarn, paper, and pipe cleaners!
We drew a Native American “word” on the front and back! (That one says friend!)
Then had to practice getting the circle pipe cleaner onto a horn!
Great eye hand coordination practice! Grab Fine and Gross Motor Ideas here!

We even looked for turkeys hidden around the room to practice counting sets! This helps with learning math facts, counting, and number sense. Click the picture to check it out.
