Pilgrim Craft and My Week in Review!

I was busy in my classroom this week.  Not only did we make pilgrims and turkeys and do a ton of shape learning with Investigations, I also fit in playing hookie and going to Christmas Village Craft Fair on Friday!
So let’s get started in our review…
Here are the pilgrims we made from one of my first packs on TPT:
You can find it {here} on TPT
and
{here} on TN
Another part of my week was when I looked over at my pocket chart and saw this:
And then we made these fractional turkeys I found the freebie {here} from
Dots-n-Spots

And before I leave you, don’t forget to enter my Ellison Education Die Cut giveaway {here} …you only have until midnight tonight to enter!!  And look, my blog is on the front page of their website:

And to thank you for getting to the end of this post, leave a comment below with your email address and I will randomly choose someone to win my 
Pilgrim Craft Pack.

    The pilgrims are precious, and I would love to do them with my class! I have a question with my comment. I have noticed in some of your character crafts, as well as in the pilgrims, have "blushy cheeks". What do you use to make that or do the kids do that? Too cute!

      I use red artist chalk and I (or the students) wipe a bit on a paper towel and then rub it onto the cheek area =) Hope that makes sense!

    Your pocket chart cracks me up! My 'nearly died' moment came when a boy was writing about the poem 'Smart' and said he had five pennies. But he conveniently left out one N and an E. Uh huh…and I had it hanging in the hall!

    If I am not too late, I would love a chance to win your pilgrim packet!
