New Year
Reindeer Fiction
This week we focused on all things reindeer. We started by reading a non-fiction book about reindeer and followed up with a Reindeer Fact book. These books come out so cute!
Then, we jumped right into fiction stories about reindeer. There are so many cute ones that I never seem to have enough time!
Keeping that lack of time in mind, I compiled a few of my favorites into a Reindeer Fiction pack. These activities are great for guest teachers or for a quick, Print and Go activity. This pack contains reader response activities for 4 different reindeer books.
The last activity we did this week was a "How to Make a Reindeer" book. First, the students made a reindeer by tracing their feet and hands. Then, they had to write about it. I love how they turned out!

We had a great week reading about reindeer!
Sight Word Slide
I am always looking for new and motivating ways to practice sight words with my kids. I made these sight word slide games as a fun way for my students to practice their sight words. My kids love playing these games and they practice their sight words at the same time. It's a win, win!
I made a few of these games from the Pre-Primer, Primer and First Grade Dolch sight word list. Click on the pictures above to see this set.
Scoot Math Games
We have been working on Addition Strategies within 20 in my classroom. Looking for fun ways to practice these strategies, I made a few Scoot games for my kids to play.
Yesterday we played Reindeer Doubles Scoot. This game focuses on doubles facts to 20. Not only did it get my kids up and moving, but they had the chance to practice their facts and strategies too.
To play this game, I put one card on each student's spot. Students stood behind one chair with their recording sheet and a clipboard. They would answer the problem, then "SCOOT" (or rotate) to a new spot when the time was up to complete the next problem. They moved around this way until they completed each problem.
Tomorrow, I plan on playing Elf Number Line Scoot tomorrow. We had so much fun yesterday, I can't wait to play again!
