Santa Claus Theme Day
Are you trying to find a way to keep your students engaged and learning with all of the holiday excitement? Themed days may be just for you. During Santa Claus Theme Day, you can read your choice of suggested Santa stories and complete the reading comprehension activities included. There is a letter to send home, a banner, craft activities, a STEM activity, a how-to-wrap-a-present book, and more. You could run centers for the day or complete the activities together. The choices are endless. There is a Santa craft, a mystery present craft, writing activities, an original poem with extensions, math games, math task cards, phonics scoot, and loads of word work extensions. With all that is included, this could be used for more than one day!
