Holiday Sites and Links

As the holidays are quickly approaching, faster than I'm prepared for, I wanted to share some links and sites for some fun seasonal and yet educational activities.

Your Grade Level Wikis - Each wiki has a page called Monthly Links with a section labeled December with games and links for the kids. Great for centers or indoor recess during the next couple days.

Elf on the Shelf Website - I have noticed that some of you have the Elf on the Shelf in your classroom. The section called North Pole has links to some games and other interactive activities. You can even customize your elf's outfit with different patterns and props, print your elf and use it as a cute writing prompt.

Portable North Pole - For kids young and old! This site allows you to create your own personalized video from Santa himself that is emailed directly to you. Just go through the steps on the website wizard and in a few short minutes you will have a magical video. You will love it.

Storyline Online - Polar Express - The classic story is read to your students by actor Lou Diamond Phillips

Woodlands Jr. Holiday Activities - Interactive Advent Calendars, Games and Stories

Rudolf is Missing - Interactive story and game with comprehension questions.

Okay that's it for now. Enjoy this magical time with your students!!
