Science and Social Studies are my very favorite things to teach! However, it's so hard to find time in the schedule to teach these. But I manage to find time by overlapping with other subjects, such as reading, and including science and social studies concepts with the calendar!
I'm determined to make your life easier, and I hope this resource does the job! I've taken many of the important second grade skills, mixed in a few November special days, and came up with these activities! There are close reading activities, mini-books, sorting activities,and even a S.T.E.M. activity to do with leftover Halloween candy corn! It's guaranteed fun for the kids, easy for the teachers, and valuable learning experiences!
Here are a couple of my favorite parts:
A Turkey Fact Mini-book! (With vocabulary and comprehension questions.)
Daylight Savings Time Close Read.
A STEM Engineering Challenge with leftover Halloween candy corn!
Thanksgiving Fact or Fiction? This one was so much fun to make: Children have to decide whether things could have happened back in the 1600s at the first Thanksgiving! Expect plenty of giggles!
