Reindeer Lesson Ideas: Reading Informational Texts
Here is a peek into what is included in this Reindeer Unit.
Last week was a CUH-RAZY week for my little sweeties. In addition to all of the normal holiday craziness we were still trying to practice and get ready for our Gingerbread man play. We performed the play for the parents on Thursday night and the kids did an AMAZING job! But I do have to say that I am so glad it is over and I am so excited to be out of school for Christmas break! I know that some of you still have to work a few days this week so I won’t rub it in! 🙂

December 20 at 9:23 pmThanks for sharing all of your wonderful stuff! When do you do your non fiction writing with your students? Do you do it on the elmo and allow the kids to copy it or do you let them do their own writing/spelling?

December 21 at 2:42 amThank you for all of the wonderful things you share! I was wondering if you would consider making your printable books so they an be easily put through the copy machine and then sliced into two books with a paper cutter.
Just a thought 🙂 Have a wonderful holiday break!
