Winter Holidays Pocketbook Unit!

Featured, freebies

Teaching Winter Holidays is a favorite topic of our students this time of year! As a teacher, you shouldn’t have to struggle to fit all your reading and writing standards into lessons that are still hands-on and fun. We created our Winter Holidays Unit so that you can celebrate this special time of year without sacrificing teaching time!

You will be able to seamlessly move through content with your students, and each child will be able to create their own pocketbook portfolio along the way to store their work.  Students, parents, and administrators LOVE the impressive final product, and it will be a keepsake that they will be proud of and love to show off!

We put together a free sample pack with resources from each of the Winter Holidays so you can get a preview of this mega unit.  Try it out today and get started learning about all the fun holidays in December!

The key to teacher survival is having a teacher bestie 🩷 While we now work apart, the foundation we created at our previous school has led to lifelong friendship, trust and someone to lean on for any and all things! I know my life would not be complete without having known “Miss Stephanie”. From unofficially co-teaching self-contained classrooms, monthly chapter book read alouds, Fun Fridays, creating an adapted Cheerleading program, writing curriculum and so much more! Now more than ever I am so grateful for these memories and our common passions and drive! You might not find yourself a Stephanie, but if you find a bestie that’s half as amazing, you’re in a good place 🩷
