What's Included:

ELA

• Reindeer Rhymes: Students will read the word and write a rhyming word. (4 pages)
• Middle Sound Mittens: Students will use the color code at the bottom of the page to color the mittens based on the picture's medial sound. (2 pages)
• Snowy Sounds: Students will cut and glue the pictures to sort them based on their short vowel sound.
• Simple Sentences: Students will read the simple sentences and match them to their picture.
• Winter Boot Blends: Each pair of boots on the page has a picture. Students will use the code to color the boots based on the picture's end blend. (2 pages)
• Sentence Stories: Students will match the picture to its sentence.
• Word Family Fun: Students will look at the pictures and write the picture names under the correct short vowel word family. (5 pages - 1 for each short vowel)
• December Digraphs: Students will color or dab the digraph that they hear in each word. Includes beginning, medial, and final digraphs. (3 pages)
• Snowflake Sentences: Students will color the snowflake based on whether its sentence is correct or incorrect. They will look for capital letters at the beginning of the sentence and a period at the end to determine whether it is correct.
• Seasonal Syllables: Students will cut and glue the pictures to sort them by syllables - 1, 2, or 3. Includes a second version that names the pictures.
• Warm Word Endings: Students will read the verbs and add an -ed and -ing ending to each word.
• Cold Weather Compounds: Students will match words to create compound words. They will cut and glue the children on top of each snow sled.
• Winter Words: Students will color the ice skate to indicate whether the word is a noun or verb.
• Polar Punctuation: Students will cut and glue the correct end mark (period, question mark, or exclamation mark) for each sentence.
• Singular or Plural Nouns: Students will read each word and determine whether it is a singular or plural noun. They will write the word in the correct space on the page.
• Arctic ABCs: Students will use the alphabet line to sort the winter words into alphabetical order. They will cut and glue their ordered words.

MATH

• Nutmeg Numbers: Students will identify numbers that are missing in the ordinal patterns and write the number on each winter mug. Includes numbers to 55.
• Even or Odd Earmuffs: Students will color the earmuffs and mittens to indicate whether the number is even or odd. Different versions include numbers and objects. (3 pages)
• Decompose to 20: Students will color linking cubes to show the decomposition of the number. They will then create an addition equation to show their decomposition. Includes three pages for differentiation. (3 pages)
• Ten Frame Trees (Addition): Students will draw circles in the ten frames to solve the addition equation. Includes a second version with the first addend already represented in the ten frame. (2 pages)
• Ten Frame Trees (Subtraction): Students will cross out trees in the ten frames to solve the subtraction equation.
• Blizzard Bar Graph: Students will use winter images to create a bar graph.
• Mitten Math: Students will match the addition equation to its ten frame. (2 pages)
• Missing Addend Animals: Students will find the missing addend to make the addition equation true.
• North Pole Number Lines: Students will use the number lines to add and subtract to twenty. Includes one set with indicators for the first addend/minuend. (4 pages)
• Addition Avalanche: Students will spin two numbers and use them to create an addition equation. (3 pages for differentiation)
• Subtraction Snow: Students will spin two numbers and use them to create a subtraction equation. (3 pages for differentiation)
• Polar Place Value: Students will use the place value models to find the number.
• 10 More & 10 Less: Students will write ten more and ten less than the number show.
