It’s time to plan the week again!
Below I have my visual plans, December crafts, parent gifts, and math centers. I hope something you click on leads you to just what you need to rock out this week!
First, my visual plans.
Click on the reindeer and you will open my lesson plans. From there you click on the items right on the plan. I am excited to share that I am using Glady’s Reindeer Magic Unit this week! It’s wonderful! I hope you will check it out. I heard a rumor that my 45 minute eval. could possibly happen this week {ours are unscheduled} and I would be thrilled to be using her unit if it does! Her blog is teaching in high heels! So adorable!
For those odd moments or 10 minutes left here and there I also plan to pull from my stocking! 🙂
Plus we need to make some Christmas cards for our reading buddies, custodians, and lunch staff! I have a Merry Christmas short and sweet writing template in the stocking that I plan to squeeze in this week at some point!
Both of these crafts that I am doing this week come from a Christmas Art Projects Pack. It has templates, read aloud suggestions, and writing too if you need it. Click the craft pictures below to head to my store where you can get all 5 crafts to use every December!
We have really gotten into our December Math Centers. They are called Up on the Rooftop. These are going so well that our math center time has really gotten longer and more in depth! Click on the pictures below to get your own set.
Finally, it is time to start making the parent gifts. Our first grade team makes these Sock Snowmen every year. They are made out of tube socks, rice, batting or fiber fill from the craft sewing section, and then fun little felt and pom accessories.
