Here are some companion links that will bring engagement into your February curriculum.

In this podcast episode we share some of our favorite activities, songs, and tips for the month of December. Hopefully this episode will help you enjoy your teaching from now to the beginning of winter break!
We give suggestions on how to enjoy Christmas themes, build cultural awareness, or learn about elves and reindeer without the holiday slant. For example, using the book “The Elves and the Shoemaker” is a great way to study “elves” in a different way. My class loved when we drew a tiny picture of ourselves by our life-size shoe in our art class.
We talk about gingerbread play dough that will last all month if you store it in a tight container… And much much more such as Christmas Around The World, a visit to the North Pole to learn about Santa and his elves, and the Reindeer Hokey Pokey!
Also, don’t forget to visit Nancy Stewart and see for yourself why we love using her songs in our classroom! And if you love to use music in the classroom, don’t forget to grab your song and finger play posters for December.
It is packed with 15 of our favorite December songs, many which we sing on this podcast.
Also Available at TPT
Christmas and More Songs and Fingerplays for December
December is a great month to celebrate Christmas, lights, trees, gingerbread men, reindeer, lights and of course Santa.
Using songs and fingerplays throughout the school day not only makes for a happier environment, it increases reading and math skills, and has proven effect on classroom management! Litter your classroom with song and fingerplay posters, sing at the carpet, at transition time, as part of the curriculum, and well, anytime you fill like adding some extra happy to your day. Your students will also love singing during reading independent and free-choice times. They are also perfect for poetry studies and binders! * Be sure to find our podcast on iTunes or on our Blog using these songs.

The book “The Family” is a great example of a paper book that awards opportunity to provide strategic practice with text. To make this book, simply copy pages 1 and 2, 3 and 4 on the back of each other, cut in half and collate. Copy page 8 and cut in half to make the last page of the book and a blank outside cover.
