Creating Christmas Memories
I found this Santa in a box when I was cleaning this weekend. I made it in elementary school in the 1960’s, so it is 50 + years old. It has brought back some great memories of the past. Here are a few Christmas school memories that I remember...
Decorating a classroom tree with paper chains and popcorn.
Drawing names and exchanging presents with my classmates.
Lining up to present our presents to the teacher.
Spending afternoons making crafts (like my cute Santa) and yes sneaking a taste of the paste.
Learning how to sing “Silent Night” in German.
Performing the Nativity as our Christmas Class Play.
Making a Reader’s Digest Magazine into a tree and spray painting it green.
Making a bowl out of clay as a present for my mom.
Obviously the things teachers take the time to do with their students at Christmastime will create lasting memories, mine have survived over five decades. So as teachers work to make it through the exhaustion and chaos of the last week before the holidays, remember, you are creating memories that will not be forgotten.
Here are some of my favorite activities I love to do with my students. These products are packed full of future memories.

Phoneme Segmentation Fluency is a crucial phonemic awareness skill that prepares your student to decode CVC words.
Your children will love helping Santa get dressed so he can make his Christmas deliveries! This game includes a scripted lesson, over 100 cards that are perfect for segmenting practice, a Santa game mat, and Old Santa's sleigh to hold the collected gifts.

Learning the alphabet is crucial to early reading success. Along with letter recognition, students need to be able to identify the main or most common sound for each letter.
Alphabet sound flashcards are a helpful tool for introducing and practicing the letter sounds. They can be used for games, activities, and flashcard drills. They are great for whole group activities, but can also be used with small groups and individual students.
This packet presents two sets of Christmas sound flashcards - a large color version and a small black-and-white version. Each set has 26 lowercase letters. Every card has a letter and a picture featuring the sound of that letter.
The flashcards are easy to prepare. Copy the teacher set on cardstock, laminate and cut into fourths. Copy the student flashcards on regular copy paper. Add directions, staple and send home!
Flashcards are an important learning material. Check out these as well as our holiday and four seasons alphabet and number flashcards to add a little variety to your letter and number practice.
