Friends~I love sharing some of my favorite holiday songs and books with my class. One of my favorite carols is Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer so I guess that is why I get such a kick out of the book: Olive the Other Reindeer by J. Otto Seibold. I share this book every year after we have studied reindeer and have written our reindeer reports. It is such a fun tale that always inspires them to write their own reindeer stories. I just put a fun little book study together for my students. You can check it out below. I also have a seasonal FREEBIE for you! Sorry it took so long to get these done but you all know how busy December is:) My QR Code Listening Center Cards. Just click to download. I am super exited to announce that my son read one of the books for me tonight. It was so sweet. He always sits with me when I record and tonight he wanted to try himself!
