This is a math mystery that is specifically aligned to the 3rd grade Engage NY and Eureka math module 4 on area. This resource would also be a great for review of area for 4th grade students prior to the state test. This resource includes a scenario, a suspect list, 5 clues that students will solve to find the culprit and answers keys to all pages. Area concepts practiced in this are: determining multiplying length x width, determining area using tiling, finding the missing side length, find area of irregular shapes by decomposing rectangles and area word problems.

This resource would be great to use as a review before the end of module assessment, before state tests, as a math lesson to leave for a substitute teacher, uses individual clues as daily center work over the course of a week, etc.

My students absolutely love doing these! They especially love predicting who the culprit is prior to beginning the clues to see if they could guess it correctly!

This is a complete lesson plan based on the YouTube video 'The First Thanksgiving Story for Kids' (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oodJKjJ_VqY&t=15s) by LeFive Kids Playground. Learn all about the first Thanksgiving in this fun and educational animated video for kids! Join the Pilgrims on their exciting journey across the ocean on the Mayflower, and discover how they met the Native Americans and celebrated the very first Thanksgiving feast.

The lesson is designed for Grades 3 and 4, and it should last approximately 60 minutes. There many activities included, and their answers are provided at the end.

This video is perfect for teaching young children about the history of Thanksgiving in a way that is engaging and easy to understand. They will learn:

• Why the Pilgrims left England
• The Mayflower's wild voyage across the ocean
• The challenges of surviving in a new land
• The friendship between the Pilgrims and the Native Americans
• The first Thanksgiving feast and its traditions
• Plus, we'll have lots of fun along the way with silly characters, catchy songs, and amazing animation!

The Pumpkin Patch Field Trip Unit is part of my Field Trip Unit Series. The series was created with homeschoolers in mind, but can be adapted to be used in a classroom as well. Field trips are a great way to supplement learning, but often homeschoolers don’t get any background information on the location of their field trip and want to enrich their experience by expanding the learning at home before and after the trip. These units help give information and fun activities before and after the field trip.

These units are available in PreK/Kinder, Elementary, and Middle & High School levels. All Pumpkin Patch Field Trip Units follow the same outline and the parent/teacher info sheet is the same for all three so that if you have children of several ages, you can seamlessly teach them together. Homeschooling parents and teachers taking multiple grades on the trip can easily combine different units. Check out all of the levels below, as well as a money saving bundle.

Pumpkin Patch Field Trip Unit - PreK Preschool and Kindergarten

Pumpkin Patch Field Trip Unit - Elementary School

Pumpkin Patch Field Trip Unit - Middle & High School
