FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON - “Christmas Letter Maze Freebie - Help Santa Find Rudolph!”
by Being Inspired
Pre-Kindergarten - Kindergarten
Santa and his friend the penguin are lost! Can you help them get back to Rudolph and the igloo?
Children practice letter identification and fine motor skills as they find capital and lower case letters in the maze. This little activity focuses on the letters S and P and makes a cute addition to your literacy centers during the holidays. Print and laminate the sheets and allow children to complete the trail through the maze using erasable whiteboard markers or print out one for each child and have them color in each square that has the correct letter in it.
Includes “S is for Santa” and “P is for Penguin” cards, 6 mazes and solutions.
FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON - “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas - I Have Who Has {Freebie}”
by MrHughes
3rd - 7th Grade
Who hasn't heard the classic poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas" by Clement C. Moore?
This fun and interactive activity will have your students begging to play again and again as they try to beat their best time by reading fluently and more quickly each time.
The poem has been divided into 28 cards in a "I have, Who Has" fashion. Students will have to listen carefully as they only get the 3 or 4 words in poem ahead of their lines. I have also listed several alternate ways to enjoy the included cards.
I have used this activity for over 10 years in my classroom and my students have loved it every year. I am offering it as a free resource as my Holiday gift to you!
Enjoy and please remember to rate this resource.
Happy Reading and Listening,
MrHughes

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON - “FREE A Christmas Carol: Scrooge’s Diary Entry Writing Assignment”
by Jessica Osborne
6th - 9th Grade
Use this writing assignment at any point in the reading of A Christmas Carol. Use it several times throughout the book even! This assignment focuses on comprehension of the text, point of view, setting, character analysis and so much more. It's far more interesting to students than simply writing a summary or answering some questions over a chapter. (Great for use with a substitute as well!)

FREE MATH LESSON - “Regrouping Using American Money”
by Diamond Mom
2nd - 3rd Grade
Regrouping is a difficult concept for some children to understand. Using manipulatives helps, but I find that using money makes it easier for the children to visualize the exchange of ones, tens and hundreds.
It also connects them with real examples of Math in their world.
When referring to trading ones for tens and tens for hundreds, I tell the students that they need to go to the bank. They need to deposit their pennies and get a dime or deposit their dimes and get a dollar.
When referring to changing a ten into ones, I use the analogy of going to the bank and trading a dime for 10 pennies.

FREE MISC. LESSON - “Behavior Basics: Social Scenarios”
by Lynn Hubbell
5th - 12th Grade
"Social Scenarios" is a packet of skill building activity cards designed to help students develop strategies for responding to others in an appropriate manner. Students with social skill deficits tend to have more negative interactions with others. They often have difficulty interpreting social cues and can be inflexible in their desire to have things a certain way. This can make navigating the social landscape very difficult at school. "Social Scenarios" present challenging vignettes set within the school setting which call upon the student to apply conflict resolution and problem solving skills to resolve. Suggested responses are included as are ideas for using the cards within the classroom. These cards can be used for individual and group instruction and are ideal for use in social skills groups.
The five page skill building packet includes:
9 Social Scenario cards
9 suggested response cards
9 Answer Key cards with picture prompts

by Best Practices 4 Teaching
Kindergarten - 5th Grade
This activity can be used in any grade K-5. A glyph is like a pictograph. They are fun and entertaining, but also show whether or not a student follows directions! The best part is having students use the glyphs to identify the creator!

FREE MISC. LESSON - “Winter Candy Scenes”
by Downeast Teach
1st - 6th Grade
This has become an annual tradition in my 4th grade classroom. We are not really supposed to have a holiday party, so years ago I started making Winter Candy Scenes with my students instead. They all bring in ingredients to share and I ask for parent volunteers. This ends up being one of my students’ favorite memories of 4th grade.
You will receive a pdf file with photos of candy scenes created by my students, tips and suggestions, and an editable word document to send home to parents.
Enjoy!

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON - “Our Favorite Gingerbread Friends Draw and Write Class Book Packet”
by KinderKay
Pre-K - 1st Grade
This is such an easy project to do! This is based upon 4 gingerbread stories, which are The Gingerbread Boy, The Gingerbread Girl, The Gingerbread Pirate, and The Gingerbread Baby. After reading the stories, children choose their favorite gingerbread friend and create it from paper or draw with crayons. I have included a gingerbread outline, gingerbread girl dress, and gingerbread pirate hat and pants templates.
The full color illustrations can be laminated and used as a visual pattern for students to follow as they create their character.
Student pages can be bound into a class book. I have included both a full color cover for the book and a plain cover that can be decorated by your students. I have added a lined blank page if you would like for your students to write a story about their character.
After creating the class book, students can graph their favorites and then use tally marks to record the results. I have included the recording sheets in both color and grayscale.

Everyone knows that 6,000,000 is a big number, but exactly how big is it? With this activity, students will get to incorporate basic math into a language arts lesson in which they get a clearer understanding of just how many people, like Anne Frank, were killed during the Holocaust. This activity involves taking a closer look at a smaller classification group to understand the big picture.
