Other November Activities
November Writing Prompts
In addition to our weekly paragraph of the week that is part of our homework and writer’s workshop routine, my students also LOVE the monthly thematic writing prompts. They really look forward to the first of the month when I debut the new writing journals and introduce the choices of writing topics specific to the new month. November is no different.
In order to prep the November writing prompts, I print a thematic cover for each student (they really enjoy coloring them during snack or indoor recess) along with the themed paper. I print a copy of all the November journal prompts to include in their journal. Some teachers elect to print just a color version to display in the classroom. I make the writing prompt cards available in a writing center and give them a lot of freedom in picking their own topics from the included prompts.
At the end of the month, I put each student’s writing into a booklet with the cover on top. They select one piece from the month to edit and publish. These are such a great way to show how much progress they are making as writers throughout the year and the parents really appreciate the keepsake of their work.
November Spiral Review Math Activities
Spiral review is the idea that, after introducing and teaching a foundational concept or skill, students continue to practice it regularly throughout the school year in order to maintain what they have learned. It is also known as the spiral learning method, spiral approach or spiral instruction. It is an integral part of every 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade classroom.
Check out these November-themed spiral review activities:
- 2nd Grade November Spiral Review
- 3rd Grade November Spiral Review
- 4th Grade November Spiral Review

November Crafts for Kids
Below are 4 fun November crafts for elementary students. Your kids will love these art projects!
 | Surprise your students with a fun treat at snack time. This idea is from The Child at Heart blog. |
 | I plan to make this a choice activity for the many indoor recesses I anticipate we’ll have this month. I think the best way to do this would be to make ink pads and baby wipes available to keep the mess to a minimum. This idea is from Scholastic. |
 | This 3D turkey would be the perfect addition to a November bulletin board. I plan to have each student create one of their own and will attach their How to Cook a Turkey writing project to the top. This idea is from Martha Stewart. |
 | I love the idea of making this wreath as a class project to display on a classroom door. This idea is from the blog, Purely from the Heart… Real Life, One Day at a Time. |
