This book's 80 exciting pages are filled with a wide variety of lesson ideas and activities designed for use with primary children. At its core are three high-quality children's literature selections, Night Tree, The Wild Christmas Reindeer, and The Polar Express. For each of these books, activities are included which set the stage for reading, encourage the enjoyment of the book, and extend the concepts gained.

In addition, the theme is connected to the curriculum with activities in language arts, math, science, social studies, geography, art, music, movement, and life skills. Many of these activities encourage cooperative learning.

Suggestions and patterns for games and ideas for the bulletin boards are additional time savers for the busy teacher.

Furthermore, directions for making a class pillow, wall hanging, or quilt allow the students to produce products that can be shared beyond the classroom. All of these activities combine to make this book a very complete teacher resource.

This book includes:

  • literature selections - summaries of three children's books with related lessons (complete with reproducible pages) that cross the curriculum
  • poetry - suggested selections and lessons enabling students to write and publish their own works
  • planning guides - suggestions for sequencing lessons each day of the unit
  • language experience ideas - daily suggestions as well as activities across the curriculum, including Big Books
  • bulletin board ideas - suggestions and plans for student-created and/or interactive bulletin boards
  • homework suggestions - extending the unit to the child's home
  • curriculum connections - in language arts, math, science, social studies, geography, art, music, movement and life skills
  • group projects - to foster cooperative learning
  • a culminating activity - which required students to synthesize their learning to produce a product or engage in an activity that can be shared with others
  • a bibliography - suggesting additional literature and nonfiction books on the theme

Testimonials

I am a stay at home mom who values education very much, and these resources have been able to help me start my child's education early in order to give her a head start before she even enters into school. - Heather L.

The resources I received will help me tremendously with reading skills. I was amazed at how quickly I received my order. - Annette H.

My son needed some additional work with his fine motor skills to prepare him for Kindergarten next year. We work out of the books I ordered. He does his "homework" when my older son is completing his after school. He loves it! It makes him feel like a big boy. I was amazed that my order arrived two days after I placed it, especially because it was the Holiday season. - Dawn M.

I purchased the full color Kindergarten file folder games, and my students love them. We use them daily during our literacy groups. Your service was great! - Cindy M.

They provide a variety of ways to reach different students and allow me to vary my activities year-to-year. - Staci M.

I have used all the materials with my Kdg. class and found them to be so appropriate. The children enjoy them. - Jennifer C.
