Super Saturday YouTube Video of the Week: History of Halloween

I thought it would be fun and informative for my students to watch a video about the origins of Halloween, and how the celebration developed over thousands of years.  The following video has some really great pictures, and the narration is easily understood.

In addition to this great video, I am offering a little Halloween FREEBIE just for you!  It is a set of spooky story maps for your kiddos to enjoy.  Visit my TpT store to pick up your very own copy!

I hope you like them, and Happy Halloween!
  

Super Saturday Educational YouTube Vidoe of the Week : Columbus

Sorry about last week.  I was not able to post a video last week due to plans for the weekend, but now I'm back!  I just love this video about Christopher Columbus. It reminds me of movies we used to watch back when I  was a kid.  It's very entertaining and informative. I hope you and your kiddos like it!

Super Sunday YouTube Educational Video of the Week!

We had a blog hop going on Saturday, so I decided to move my Super Saturday YouTube Educational Video of the Week to Sunday.  This next week in reading we are talking about the "Main Idea" and "Supporting Details." I found this really cute video that explains it with a song from learningupgrade.com. It talks about the main idea and how it fits into a paragraph, so it would be useful in teaching both reading and writing.


 



I hope you enjoy the video on main idea!

Saturday YouTube Educational Video of the Week

This week in reading, we are comparing different versions of fairy tales.  I found this video of the Rough Faced Girl that I can show my kiddos. We are going to compare this book to the original Cinderella. This is a great resource, especially if you don't have access to this book.
