Winter Break!

The tree is decorated minus the star.

 Thanks to...

My house is filling up with one more scheduled to come home on Tuesday! Love my Christmas memories...

I know many of you have a couple more days so I'm sharing a few ideas that helped me get through our final week. After completing quarterly tests, it was clear that we needed to work on word problems. This mixed set helped us practice problems using addition, subtraction, and multiplication. There are also 7 multi-step problems. These could also work for your first week back if you want to plan ahead.

Silver Packages by Cynthia Rylant was a last minute addition to my December read aloud list. It really captured the attention of my students and led to a great discussion. Love this book!

I sent each student home with a reading challenge from More than a Worksheet. I have used this FREEBIE for many years, and invite students that complete the challenge to hot cocoa after the break.

I put together a math packet challenge with an emphasis on multiplication. I printed all 26 pages, but you could also send a few pages home and complete the rest after the break. 

Thanks so much for visiting my blog! Merry Christmas!
