Christmas | Hanukkah | Winter Holiday Activities for the K-1 Classroom

 It's that time of year!  Everyone is buzzing about decorating, spreading cheer, and getting jolly!  Our students are distracted by so many things this time of year, especially with winter break lurking just around the corner!  It is important to plan activities that will keep your students interested and asking for more!

Looking to keep your students engaged while practicing sight words this Christmas? This "I See Christmas" sight word differentiated emergent reader mini book is the perfect addition to the lower elementary classroom during this holiday season!

It would be great to use for independent reading, guided reading groups, homework, or read to self time. I also usually have students highlight the sight word of the week on each page in the story to reinforce!

 




Want to just stick with a winter theme?  Try this set of 4 differentiated Winter sight word emergent readers!



 This adorable Penguin Winter Color by Sight Words and Rainbow Trace & Write Sight Words Activity is the perfect addition to any elementary classroom. These activities can be used to help students identify and color sight words and color words. This fun hands on activity will help support and develop high frequency words in young students. Children can practice their sight word recognition, coloring, tracing, writing, and reading skills. It is also a great way to differentiate instruction for preschool and kindergarten children. This makes the perfect literacy center activity or independent work for general education and special education students.

Sight Words I, can, the, like, go, and, to

Your class NEEDS this fun, hands on, and engaging set of I Spy | Winter Magnifying Glass Sight Word Search | Literacy Center. Students look at each page with a magnifying glass to search for the 10 hidden sight words. Students write each sight word they see and read it 3 times. Students can then color the pictures. Your students will thank you for this great activity that can be used during literacy centers or as an independent activity.

This works perfectly during literacy center in my kindergarten class, but could also be used for first grade. The students LOVE using the magnifying glasses!

What Does the Fox Say?

Who knows what the fox actually says? Maybe you can ask him while making this adorable fox craftivity!  I came up with the idea to create the best bulletin board collaboration!  I had to get rid of my winter bulletin boards because  I was sick of snow and cold and very ready for spring and warm weather.   With warmer weather and spring come baby animals, which includes one of my favorite animals... the fox!  Baby foxes are the cutest ever!   Since March is all about Reading, I mashed a bunch of idea together and came up with some pretty cool bulletin boards. First, I drew Fox in Socks!  Then I had my class create foxes and thought of two rhyming words to put on the fox!

This year I created a different bulletin board!  I have als...

Western Theme Classroom Ideas

Image
Howdy Y'all!  My mom and I both teach kindergarten and each year we switch classroom themes. One of the themes we switch between is the Western theme. Here you will find some ideas we have used over the years! Each time we do it we change it up a little. Enjoy the ideas! Here is our hut/ reading nook that we have transformed into a covered wagon type structure. It took a lot of time and energy to get it perfect. We used long white bendable plastic pipes from Home Depot to make the front and back of the cover. Then we used some extra bamboo sticks to keep the fabric up.  Below are some products we use to make our theme special! Click the thumbnail to take a closer look!
