December Teaching

Hi! Happy December. :) I wanted to share some of the activities I have done with my kids during December. Click here to follow me on Instagram for more ideas!


We have done some of these readers from my December easy reader packet. They have been perfect for our online learning small groups. I haven't been able to do the running record since we have been online, but normally I do it on Fridays as a reading grade. Click here for the easy readers.


We have been still doing our morning work. I have them do it as an independent activity in breakout rooms while I work with a writing small group. Click here for the morning work.


I LOVE this activity. We do it every year and I just saw that she made it digital too which is perfect. Click here for the wreath craftivity. Also click here to follow on Instagram.

We are doing Gingerbread day Monday. I always dress up as the gingerbread girl and we make the houses. We are still doing it this year online. I always let them make these houses the week we do it or the day we do it. This year I will have them do this and then we will write about what they made in small group. Click here for the build a gingerbread house.


This is another one that I do every year. The option pictured is for counting, but there is one for two addends, three addends, and subtraction. I love it for pairs of ten because they can do some one color and some another color to show the pair of ten. Click her for the tree craftivity.


We did my elf activity online this year. It was fun and they still were able to do it. We did it whole group and then we shared in small group. Click here for the elf activity.



I love putting out these adorable nametags. I made reindeer emoji ones, but I don't have them on my tpt yet. However, these are so cute too! Click here for editable nametags.


This reading packet is perfect from my friend, @primaryscouts. I love all of her craftivities and read aloud lessons. This one was prefect for December. The kids loved the story, the retell, comparing and contrasting Olive and reindeer, as well as getting to write what they were an expert at. Click here for the read aloud lesson.


Thanks for reading. I LOVE December because there are so many fun activities to do. My favorite is probably Gingerbread day. Happy Holidays!

End of the Year Gifts/Prep

I was so sad to see the end of the year come. I feel like I needed more time with them! I did my normal bag of stuff: memory book, year of crafts, award, and a key chain! These are the bags I use. You can get them on Amazon, but make sure you get the size that is at least 9x12. I've made the mistake of getting the smaller ones before lol. This is the memory book I use. I've changed it over the years, but I just simplified it down. You can edit it in Canva, google slides, or PP! You could also use this, but it's more for one student. I used it as a moving away book, but if you started this early, you could make a book for each student. I did the key chains again.  I do not suggest doing a whole class picture because it's so small. The selfie works so much better! Click here for the tag and click here for the key chain photo frames . Every year I hold onto the crafts. I usually just stack them and then we spend some time at the end of the year passing them out. This year...

Kid's Door Decor

If you want to skip the reading and go right to the door decor pack click here! So I did something wild yesterday. I let my kids decorate the door... A few years ago I said I wanted to put up a new door every month. The kids love when the door is decorated to something new. I lasted maybe 2 months LOL. I try to decorate it at the beginning, but it is such a pain. It always falls down, I can't get it straight, etc etc etc. Well last week one of my co-worker's decorated her door. It was a spring door with flowers and my kids of course were in awe. "Let's decorate our door!" So yesterday morning during my morning coffee I randomly thought to make a packet of things they could decorate the door with. It is homeschool at school in our classroom so I thought, I'll give them the stuff and some examples and they can decorate it together. I told them in the morning about it so they were pumped when it was time. I printed out all the stuff ahead of time and cut it into ...
