How I Use Christmas Mini Book about counting to 20 + Lesson: 3 Mini Book Templates in my classroom:

Whenever I plan a unit, I always try to think of cross-curricular opportunities to connect different subject areas together. I find that mini books are a wonderful way to marry math with literacy for our early learners.

I particularly love that this Christmas Counting download is offered in three templates. This makes it particularly ideal for my split primary grades. I have taught JK/SK Kindergarten split classes, as well as SK/Grade 1 splits, and the fact that I can modify the task so my younger group is working on either the read or trace options, while the older grade is working on the trace or trace & draw options is fantastic.

This is a Christmas Counting booklet I have used over the years with different primary classes. With my younger primary classes (Kinder - Grade 1), I have printed out the mini book in it's entirety as we were focusing on numbers 0 - 20. With my older primary classes, I have used it to work on skip counting by 2's and 5's, by only printing out the pages that pertain to that skip counting rule.

After students have finished reading, writing, and drawing they are welcome to continue reading it during spare time or with a buddy. Before Christmas holidays, I send the booklets home so that they can show their parents and loved ones.
