Winter Centers

The clipart I used to make these cute winter signs is so much fun that I decided to make some winter center signs to match.

I used many of the same centers I have had in the past, but traded some of the materials out for more wintery items.  For example, I found some inexpensive wintery puzzles for the puzzle center.

I found some other inexpensive games, too, like this Frozen pop up game.

I also found this Guess Who game at five below and changed out the pictures to make them book characters.

Of course, I have some of my old standby centers and just added some new signage.

I think the kids are really going to like them.  You can download the new signs I made to go with these centers HERE for free.  The centers I made signs for include

• Winter Puzzles
• Create a Bookmark
• Pop Up Game (from Big Lots)
• Winter Words (includes recording sheet)
• 4 in a Row 
• I Spy (includes recording sheet)
• Guess Who (includes new book character pieces)

It is a Google doc so you will have to press the download button once you click on the link.

Hope you enjoy!

Happy New Year!

I hope you had a peaceful and restful break.  Mine was full of family and fun, but I sure could have used another week.  However, I am happy to be back to a routine.  My little one finally seems to be well and staying well (knock on wood), so it really has been a Happy New Year.  =)

I have a few freebies for you to help make the transition back to reality a little more cheery.

First I made some winter signage to draw attention to wintery books or really any books you might have on display.  You can download them for FREE from my Teacher's Dojo store HERE.

These New Year's bookmarks are also available for FREE HERE in my Teacher's Dojo store.

Please leave feedback if you download.  The more feedback I receive, the more encouraged I am to make new items.  I love hearing from you!  =)

Happy New Year!

How Santa Got His Job

Buy on Amazon

Last week I read one of my favorite Christmas books, How Santa Got His Job by Stephen Krensky.

Of course, I paired it with the story elements worksheet I made last year.  You can snag a copy of it for free by clicking HERE.

Buy on Amazon

I was so excited that our recent book order came in because I order a copy of the companion book How Santa Lost His Job by Stephen Krensky.  I am thinking about maybe creating a STEM lesson to go with that book, but it's a bit difficult to do something like that in a 30 minute time period (including check out), so I may have to think that one through for next year.

What are some of your favorite books to read this time of year?

Christmas Signs

Just a quick freebie for you.  I created some festive signs for the bookshelves.

You can snag 'em HERE.

Hope you enjoy!
