Sight Words- Each day let children write a high frequency word on a strip of paper and glue the ends to make a link in a chain. They can practice reading over previous words each day as they add a new word and link.
Hint! You could also use this activity to introduce a new vocabulary word every day. Adjectives abound this time of year.
Snowman Math - Give children the outline of a snowman similar to the one shown. They can take buttons or other manipulatives and place sets in the top two sections. Join them together in the bottom circle to make the sum. Ask students to write the equation.
*Give children a certain number of buttons. How many different combinations can the make on the snowman to come up with the same sum?
