What educators are saying
The passages had great information and my students enjoyed learning about different traditions from other cultures. I also liked how there were additional worksheets they could do after reading the passages.
I love this resource. I used it last winter. I teach in a Montessori school so I paired my first graders with older students to complete the activities. My students are still reading the passages that are in our cultural section (and asking when we can start learning about the traditions again)!
Description
This unit includes several different activities centered around various family traditions. This unit is common core aligned and includes student non-fiction readers about different winter holidays, writing activities and worksheets. The writing activities include both family and holiday themes. The information text worksheets include a snowman theme.
