Kicking Up Learning

Use the book Pete the Cat and his Four Groovy Buttons. Once you've read the book you can use this sheet for students to practice their subtraction from any number you choose. You choose how many buttons students start with and then they can roll a die to see how many buttons they will subtract. I recommend laminating the sheet and using dry erase markers.

Have fun building turkeys while practicing your beginning letter sounds and upper and lowercase matching! Print out each page of the turkey body and matching feathers. Cut out the turkey and feathers. Laminate all pieces. Arrange the feathers for each letter turkey! This can be done in a center, in small groups, or practice as a class!

Practice counting pips with a thankful turkey! You can play as a Smash game wtih play doh or use magnetic chips and wands to up the fun of counting pips on the dice. Print the page your children need practice (1-6 or 1-12). Laminate for multiple uses. Students can play in pairs or independently.
