November Daily Check-Ins | Morning Meeting Slides | Gratitude, Thanksgiving

Bring gratitude, reflection, and seasonal fun into your classroom with these November Daily Check-In Slides! Designed for morning meeting, circle time, or daily warm-ups, these prompts help students practice gratitude, share ideas, and strengthen writing skills while celebrating November and Thanksgiving traditions.

The visual supports, predictable routines, and engaging themes also make this an excellent tool for ESL learners, who benefit from clear images, sentence frames, and opportunities to practice vocabulary like turkey, leaves, pumpkin, stuffing, and tradition.

This set includes 5 types of prompts:

• Writing Prompts – write about a favorite fall activity, share what you learned this week, describe your favorite Thanksgiving food, or write about something you shared with a friend.
• Gratitude Prompts – thankfulness for family members, teachers, classmates, school supplies, and traditions.
• This or That Choices – mashed potatoes or stuffing? pie or cake? football game or parade? pumpkin spice latte or hot chocolate?
• Mood Check-Ins – describe your mood as a glowing candle or starry night, a busy squirrel or calm turtle, or choose a fall leaf color to match your feelings.
• Guessing Games – riddles about turkeys, balloons, fall leaves, parade floats, pies, and football.
