Sight Words-Christmas Cookie Crunch

During Daily Five word work, students work at the Smartboard to practice their sight words. I animated the cookies so that there is a munching sound as the cookie slowly fades away to reveal a sight word hidden below. It's so cute and the kids are very excited to take their turn at the board! Which one is your favorite?

Holidays Around the World

In Social Studies, we have started a new unit on December holidays around the world. Here is the Smartboard activity I made for the students. It contains links to visit sites to hear stories, watch educational videos, links to interactive activites and more! When we visit each of the countries, we stamp our passport, color the country on our map and write and illustrate what we have learned in our mini-books.

St. Nicholas visited and left treats and gold coins in our wooden shoes!

We made a tannebaum in computer lab using shape tools and looked for the christmas pickle on my teacher tree!
