Rockin’ Reindeer Fun + ABC Order Freebies
So crazy….that I drove straight to get a massage after school.
My room is a mess. We haven’t made one Santa, yet!
The kiddos LOVE this book.
We started off the story going over some vocabulary words that are included in my unit.
A few pages into the book,
we made our predictions on why the reindeer go on strike.
{And I forgot the picture…boo..I blame the crazy blizzard}
We also used our vocabulary cards for a quick
and non-fancy cause/effect check in small groups.
The above level kiddos also used the cards to
help them with some reciprocal teaching skills.
For writing center, we wrote all about the animal that
WE think would make the best replacement for the reindeer and why.
{again..no picture…please use imagination here!}
We also used the centers included in the unit!
Reindeer clip-art make our skills so much more fun:)
Here is two ABC order freebies.
Next, we made reindeer food!
We used whole cooked oats and red/green sprinkles!
Did you know that glitter is harmful to animals?
I had the oats stored away from last year when we never got to it!
Our reindeer food was put into a ziploc baggie and then into our brown sack.
We then created the cute topper.
This will help to make sure we don’t open it before Christmas Eve!
{A sibling of a student likes to stop by to visit, especially when she’s suppose to be some where else. She informed me that her sister told her to put the reindeer food in the yard.
I said, “Yes, on Christmas Eve.”
Her sister started to laugh and said, “WHAT?! K did it last night!”
Maybe the reindeer will come early?:)
We also created the cute little reindeer head on the anchor chart.
And wrote about our steps!
You can purchase the reindeer food header, reindeer header
and writing sheets in this fantastic unit!
{I’ll be back tomorrow with Mooseltoe and some freebies!}
So many cute reindeer ideas! The reindeer food looks like fun. 🙂

Thank you for those cute ideas! I saw your button on the "Teaching in High Heels" blog. I am a new blogger and would love to get my name out there in the teacher blogging world. I am a K teacher right outside of Nashville (Franklin). I am having a difficult time tapping in and friending other teacher bloggers 🙂 Any advice/shout outs would be tremendously appreciated!
Thanks so much!
