If I Had a Pet Reindeer (Caribou or Santa's Reindeer?)

Is your child curious about reindeer? How about Santa's reindeer?!? Let's imagine having a reindeer as a pet! 
In this class we will talk all about the similarities and differences between wild reindeer and Santa's famous, nine reindeer (Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen, and Rudolph!). 

We will learn about where they live, their attributes, what they eat, and how they communicate! Students will learn what Santa's reindeer do on Christmas Eve. We will discuss the special things Santa's reindeer can do! The students will see and discuss real pictures and facts of reindeer through a slideshow. Halfway through class, I will refer to the coloring sheets. Students can keep their hands busy while continuing to learn about reindeer. This is a very interactive class with lots of questions and sharing. I do enforce raising your hand and taking turns throughout class. Sharing is encouraged but never mandatory. 

After the slideshow, we will play a hide and seek game to try and find the reindeer! We will then make reindeer food together that students can use to feed Santa's reindeer on Christmas Eve. :)
