Christmas sight word match

We have been working away on our sight words all year and I'm happy to say that almost all my students know all the pre-primer Dolch word list.  In the new year we will be starting on the primer list.

My students really enjoy sorting their words and this is the perfect Christmasy activity for the job.  The kids don't even know they are still working.

Secret Santa FUN!

Happy Holiday Season, everyone!!  I'm stopping in today to share a fun way to celebrate the holidays with your friends and coworkers!

Every year, my close teacher friends and I--there are nine of us--organize a Secret Santa gift exchange.  It's SO fun!  To help us find gifts for our Secret Santa recipient, we use this little form that I created:

This form allows us to really personalize our gifts and give our friends what they want!!

It's not too late to organize an exchange with your pals!  If you're interested in learning more about my Secret Santa school tradition, hop on over to my blog.  You can grab your FREEBIE while you're there.  Or you can go directly to my TpT shop and snag it now!

Wreath Ornament - Easy Peasy Parent Gift!

Hi Peeps!
I'm Traci from Dragonflies in First and the newest author for Freebielicious! 

I wanted to share my easy-peasy parent gifts with you. I've been making them for years because they are simple and always turn out perfect.

I use gloves for this part because I am a klutz and tend to get food coloring on my hands EVERY time.

After they dry they even look better! They look like they are really made from some sort of evergreen material. The wreaths are super easy to make, but look like they took a ton of time. Once they've dried, we wrap them up in tissue paper and place them in a paper bag made to look like Rudolf along with our Poinsettia and letter to our parents.

If you've been searching for something new to do for parent gifts, I hope this spurred a little inspiration!

I'm super happy to be hanging out with my friends here at Freebielicious and look forward to sharing more freebies and ideas with you! Stop by and visit me over at Dragonflies in First!

St. Nicholas Day Shoe Freebie

Saint Nicholas Day is coming up on December 6! He always visits my kindergarten classroom the night before his feast day and leaves treats for the students in my class. In the true spirit of St. Nicholas, however, he only leaves his treats in the shoes of children.

Since none of my students keep a pair of shoes at school overnight, I created this little shoe for my students to personalize and decorate. I hang each child's shoe on his or her locker but it could easily be placed on the top of the classroom desks instead.

This Waiting for St. Nicholas shoe coloring page is available for FREE on the Kinder Craze blog. Stop by and grab your freebie!

Happy Saint Nicholas Day!

Gingerbread Man Painting Template
