Christmas is such a magical time of year! It happens to be my favorite time of year and I wanted to share my love of it with all of you by giving each of you a gift from me! This unit focuses on writing a friendly letter, but not just any friendly letter…a letter for Santa! Inside you will find a holiday word list to help with students’ spelling, a sample letter, and one with notations of what a friendly needs to have. You will also get a whimsical page that breaks down options for your students for each part of a friendly letter. It will help them with their focus and creativity! I have also included two holiday-inspired writing templates for your students to write their letter to the big guy himself! I hope that you enjoy this little gift and that it brings both you and your students a bit of joy during this magical time of year! With gratitude,

This is a really fun, interactive, and simple lesson that you can do with your kiddos. All that you need is this packet, some balloons, and a good set of lungs! :) It comes with everything you need: 3 pages of verbs (past, present, and future tense) 3 pages of verb tense sheets for the wall 2 pages of pictures with simple directions I hope you have as much fun as we did with this one! Enjoy and thank you!

I have been using these posters in my classroom for a couple of years now, and have found them to be very helpful in helping my students master the five types of text structure. As we read something new in class, we consider the text structure, and identify it by moving an arrow, that I made magnetic for my whiteboard, to point to the specific text structure that we are reading. This is a great way to foster analytical discussion with our students about this particular topic throughout the school year. Included, you will find: Header Options - Display one above the posters, if you so choose. 5 Text structure posters to display A variety of arrows to choose from Thank you so much for stopping my shop and taking interest in this resource for your classroom. It’s truly my honor to help teachers, such as myself, better the educations of our students! All the best,
