These are a few samples of the writing my kiddos did about Hanukkah using our December calendar words. I have found that my kiddos stay on topic using these words!  The calendar bundle with all 12 calendars are 50% off or you can buy them separately.



This is a few pictures of our newest sight word pack that incorporates our December Calendar words of the day as well as the 4th Fry list of sight words. This pack has 5 holiday poems, pocket chart cards, no prep sheets and a cute Christmas tree/present center.
First, I introduce the poem and let my kiddos build the poem in the pocket  chart.

 Then they can use the poem to fill out the fill in the blank sheet. They can sit on the floor in front of the poem with a clipboard or use the copy you give them for their poetry folders.

Then they can build the sight words at a center. My kiddos love this! I am going to use all 25 cards for a center for my Christmas party.

This made a great center during our party today! My kiddos could do it without assistance and I could focus on the other centers where they needed me:) Y'all can get this sight word pack on SALE as well as our entire store Dec. 18-20.  Just click on the picture below to see more!

I also had this Holidays Around the World Concentration game for them to do today.

I needed to help out with this fun center so the other centers worked out great so I could do this fun little village. So, next year I will remember to ask for white icing as well:)



We also have our popular game on SALE for a $1 as well as 9 other items for a limited time! -Just click on the picture below to see more!  



This was another center we did- a concentration game about the holidays around the world, and it was great the way the kiddos ran up to me and said,"Look Mrs. Beckner, it is Las Posadas or here is menorah. That is what we studied!" Yay! They listened! I was fortunate enough to have parent helpers at my centers, so if y'all can get help-it works well for centers!

We also did these cute little ornaments as a center. I got the kits at Michaels for 60% off!

I also wanted to share what I did for gifts for my kiddos this year because if y'all are like me, you are always looking for ideas for your students that don't cost a lot of money. I started out the morning of our last day with these puzzles from Walmart. I told the students that this was their first gift, and they would get the rest later in the day.  You get 6 in a pack for a couple of bucks. The students loved them and it kept them busy for a little while. I also loved how they helped each other.


After lunch, I gave them the snowman mechanical pencils. They squealed with excitement! They are pretty cool because they pull apart. Then, I told them they needed something to write on and gave them the pads. They started clapping. Then, I told them they needed a Christmas stencil to use and they started yelling "yay" and clapping. Some of my students said that I was the best teacher in the world and started thanking me!  I got the stencils at Walmart for 6 for $1! They started drawing and were very engaged for about 20 minutes before I stopped them. I gave them a bag and they put everything in it and I topped it with a candy cane. They got so excited and I didn't have to wrap anything! I ordered the pads and pencils from Amazon Prime-Easy Peasy:)
You could also use this idea as a center. I may do that next year.

I would love to hear some of your ideas for students for gifts or fun party ideas! Please share!


We hope that y'all enjoyed our 12 Days of Learning! We would love to hear what you liked and what else y'all would like to see next year:)
 Merry Christmas and a Happy Deserved Break!
