First, welcome Christmas! This Sunday is the first Sunday in advent, one of my favorite seasons in the church. Today I headed into church with Mom and we set up our children’s mitten tree!
Speaking of reading….As teachers, we have spent the past four months fostering classrooms where books are valued and loved, so the thought that my kiddos might go 2 FULL weeks without picking up a book breaks my heart. Knowing that many of my kids might revert back to their non-reader habits, I created this Winter Break Challenge.
This challenge is not meant to be daunting, serious, or involve a lot of rules. Rather, the goal is to keep students reading and writing in FUN ways. From reading in your PJs to sending an email to your teacher, I have included oodles of opportunities for families to โsneakโ in some literacy moments.
is one of the first packs that I was able to make, plan for, and implement in
the classroom while student teaching! ๐ So, it definitely holds a special place
in my heart, and includes EVERYTHING you need for a full week of Tundra learning โ
daily lesson outlines, links to videos/web cams, student exploration booklets,
main idea activities, vocabulary cards, pre-assessments, vocabulary frayer
models, and SO much more.
had so much fun making the arctic come to life for โmyโ kiddos! If you are in a
primary classroom, this
pack is for you! ๐
I
also finished up my โTis
the Seasonโ to Grammar pack. This is a Common Core aligned pack that
practices and reviews grammar and language skills including perfect verbs, verb
tense, comma placement, sentence editing, context clues, conjunctions, affixes
and suffixes, prepositions, and interjections.
It
is perfect for homework packets, morning work, or just a little extra practice!
