As the Holiday season fast approaches, there are many sites and activities to involve our students in reading, writing, math, science and social studies activities as they learn about or create holiday fun. Today teachers are expected to tie holiday activities to standards and academics - gone are the days where December was a month of fun arts & crafts activties.
I am posting a few items to help you incorporate the holiday fun into your academic day. If you have holiday activities that you would like to share please send them to me.
