Description

The FREE November A Poem Each Week has arrived! Poetry is great for a read aloud and introducing and reviewing standards. This month we are looking at four Thanksgiving poems by Jack Prelutsky.

  • Ate Too Much
  • Thanksgiving Day Parade
  • The Turkey Shot Out of the Oven
  • The First Thanksgiving

These comprehension questions and activities give students a chance to connect the poems to themselves and the world around them. Students also make connections to healthy choices, graphing weather, and learning the history of the First Thanksgiving.

Each of these poems can be easily found in your school or local library. Due to copyright laws, the poems are not provided with the comprehension questions.
