I don’t know about you, but for me, the winter season always seems so busy! Perhaps it's the holidays and celebrations or maybe it’s all the activities, but winter is a super busy time of year...especially in the classroom. With so many tasks, activities and traditions in our "real" lives, it can be hard to find the time to plan lessons for students. That's why I thought I'd take one thing off your "to do" list: lesson planning! I've put together a round-up of winter-themed lessons and units that are just a download away from teaching. Some ideas are specific to holidays and others are perfect for any winter day! Here's a quick listing of the ideas I'm sharing today... ➽ FREE December Plan Book and January Plan Book ➽ Winter Doodle and Do Fact Hunt, Infographic, and Activity ➽ Winter-Themed Reading Comprehension Centers ➽ "A Christmas Carol" Unit ➽ Christmas Around the World Research Project ➽ Reindeer Mail - Friendly Letter Writing Unit ➽ Winter Break Project ➽ FREE End-of-Year Infographic ➽ Winter Poem Analysis (5 poems) ➽ FREE Winter Myth Writing MONTHLY PLAN BOOKS Make the busyness of the winter months a whole lot easier with the December and January virtual plan books.
