Gingerbread Cookies and Reindeer Games

I know I'm not the only one excited that December is right around the corner. Yes, Thanksgiving is tomorrow and Christmas will be in full swing Friday!! I've been working my tail off on 2 new holiday themed packets. I absolutely LOVE spending a whole week before Christmas break teaching about gingerbread. They are just so cute (and tasty)!  And...how could you not mention Santa's famous reindeer?? If you teach anything about reindeer or gingerbread, these 2 units are for you!

 

First up is the 'Literacy Fun With Gingerbread' packet". With so many different versions of The Gingerbread Man out there, why not take a week to explore the books in depth with these literacy activities that take reading and grammar to a fun, new place! It includes 7 printables that will go along with any gingerbread themed book!

Here's a preview:

It includes the following:

*Sweet Punctuation
*Gingerbread Word Families
*Gum Drop Noun an Verb Sort
*What Will Happen to the Gingerbread Man? (prediction)
*Cookie Contractions
*Gingerbread story comparison

*Story Elements map for any gingerbread story

 

Next up is my 'Reindeer Roundup Literacy Activities' packet. Who doesn't love those furry guys that pull Santa's sleigh? This engaging packet is full of all things reindeer. Each page is a separate printable activity.  It includes 9 reindeer activity printables that go along with any fiction or non-fiction book about reindeer.  There are also a few grammar practice printables as well.

 

Here's a preview:

It includes the following:

*Reindeer can/have/are organizer
