Class Experience

Join familiar and beloved storybook characters plus meet some new ones as we read our way to Christmas Day.  Each day, we unwrap a new virtual giftbox - to find out which book we will be reading. Then I will share each story in an engaging read aloud where I display the pictures on my screen for students to follow along with the pictures as I read.

I will also provide the students with a fun printable Christmas countdown calendar so we can mark off the days together and count our way to Christmas.

In addition to our daily books, there will be a new Christmas show and tell activity each week.  Students will post pictures and videos to answer the prompts and share.  I will also share my answers to these questions and respond to students with a personalized response.

For a full list of the books we will read plus show and tell topics, please see the syllabus.

I am looking forward to counting down to Christmas together and enjoying the holiday season through stories and sharing! Please let me know if you have any questions.
