Product Description:  This Winter Math and Literacy Packet has it all and requires NO PREP! The resources in this packet are designed to meet Common Core Standards for Kindergarten while making learning fun, hands-on and interactive! ($7)

My Thoughts:  Great for our younger learners to use in Literacy & Math Centers!

By: Miss DeCarbo

Product Description:  Get your students to USE the text! Included are 44 text based evidence passages for your students. 22 high interest topics are covered. Each topic includes a nonfiction passage and a related fiction passage so you can pair the passages and help your students make connections across both genres. With the introduction of the Common Core standards, comes a big shift in students being able to not only comprehend text but use and state evidence directly from the text to support their understanding. These passages allow your students to build and practice this skill in a fun, engaging manner! ($7)

My Thoughts:  Reading passages for our primary/elementary readers with a great winter theme!  I like that it is text based evidence.  She also has more packets for all seasons!

Product Description:  Daily shared reading for January-common core aligned. Arctic Animals, Mittens, Penguin, and Snowman themed poems are featured. Common core standards aligned chart. ($10)

By: Amy Lemons

Product Description:  This winter writing activity can be used with students of many different ages! There is a title poster to display, 5 pages of winter cards to generate ideas, prewriting, template, and an example. ($2)  

My Thoughts:  Writing is always so great to utilize with a theme! I love Amy Lemons and her blog, she always does great job with her products. I love her penguin unit too!

By: Caitlin Cabby Kindergarten Smiles

Product Description:  An entire all around unit about penguins from Kindergarten, 1st, and Homeschool students. ($10)

My Thoughts:  I love the mini books, graphic organizers, and great detail that was put into this product!  Looks very well thought out and allows our younger learners utilize lots of skills.

Happy New Year!

This week I decided to focus on New Year's Activities/Resolutions! These are some great products to get your students about writing some personal goals for the remainder of the year.  I loved doing this with my students because it also gave them a chance to learn about goals and setting personal goals.  A lot of my students excelled in so many aspects of their lives because they gave themselves a goal, pushed themselves, and worked hard for their achievements.  Hopefully these products can help out with that!
