Christmas craftivities…

December 9, 2012 by Tamara

So, it’s getting to be that time…the time of the year where I have to find some really cute crafts to send home with my firsties.  I love a good craft as much as the next person, but…I haven’t been in first grade for years, so, I’m a bit rusty.  I really don’t like meaningless crafts…I need to feel like the craft is in response to content I taught in the classroom.  A quick search at TPT turned up the following ideas…

*Stocking Craft*
I love the fact that the craft comes complete with a writing extension! 🙂  There’s a bubble map and a draft copy page for the students to use.  I think it will look really nice above my white board. 🙂  Can’t wait to work on them this week. 🙂
*Fact and Opinion Craftivity*
I liked this one to quickly review fact and opinion.  It’s simple and can also be used in the future for a non-holiday review as well.  Good stuff. 🙂
*Contractions Craftivity*
This one turned out so cute!  A great way to review contractions! 🙂  I can’t wait to try this one out in my room as well!  We are going to be all Christmas-ed OUT, by the time I’m done with these firsties! 😉
*Snowman Craftivity Pack*
Okay…so I am totally in love with this Snowman craftivity pack…it not only includes a cute content driven activity, but a WRITING EXTENSION TOO! 🙂  Imagine my luck finding this!  And for FREE too! 🙂  We are definately fitting this in somewhere! 🙂
Well, these are the freebies that I found and am using!  What about you guys?
Happy two weeks until vacation,
Tamara
