The holidays officially begin once Halloween is over and Thanksgiving is upon us! Many of us are working toward the middle part of our school year at this point. Students are in a routine and have learned many things so far!
If you don’t know already, I absolutely LOVE celebrating holidays in my classroom. There’s something magical about this holiday season and getting to share it with your students.
When the excitement is high and teaching feels more like herding sheep, it can be a little hard to get students to focus on your regular academic schedule. This is why I love using book companions in my classroom! Book companions make it easy to incorporate the holiday into the classroom while still focusing on academic essentials.
