My Project

My young students learn a lot about various holidays and celebrations as part of our social studies curriculum. These materials will help us celebrate the winter holiday of Christmas. We always have themed days like Reindeer Day so the Reindeer antlers and little red noses will make the kid feel so special. We also have a Polar Express day, so the little bell necklaces would be fun to wear all day and hear the sound for those that truly believe. the little Princess dolls will be perfect to stick in our holiday stockings as well. Plus, the fidget stretches will give my kiddos and outlet to keep their excitement under control during those exciting last few days before the holidays. These fun items will help my young students have some things to keep them busy and able to stay on task on those exciting days before our Winter Break! Plus, Kleenex tissues are always in high demand during the winter months.

My young students like hands-on activities and crafts and these will be perfect to help us celebrate and learn about the holiday season with engaging items for our themed days.

These items along with traditional holiday stories will help us read some fun great stories and learn more about the fun holiday seasons and traditions.
