Winter Activities ELA 1st & 2nd Grade Standards - Reading, Writing, Grammar

This winter activity pack is filled with ELA activities for 1st and 2nd graders. There are themed activities for each of the six Common Core Standards domains (RL, RI, L, SL, RF, and W). Your students will practice their ELA standards while incorporating the winter theme as well. This will take some of the stress off of your plate by providing you with standards-based and Common Core-aligned seasonal activities!

Each domain will have 3-4 activities or passages. The domains are Reading Literature, Reading Informational, Writing, Speaking and Listening, Language, and Foundational Skills. There will be a mix of hands-on partner, whole group, and independent activities.

Please check out the preview to get a clearer idea of all that you're getting!
