I LOVE Christmas and so do the little Moffatt Girls! There is so much excitement during this very busy month. Of course I want them to keep learning with some fun, hands-on and engaging resources so I made our December NO PREP packets! Easy for me and super FUN for them!
The BEST part about these packets is that there is NO PREP, especially during this VERY busy month! NO costly colored ink when printing these pages, NO cutting, NO laminating! Just PRINT and TEACH! The pages in these packets are rigorous and engaging! There is NO FLUFF in these packets! They are filled with meaningful skills that help teach and/or reinforce grade level standards.

This coin riddles pages was such a GREAT way to work on making exact change!
Here is an example of one of the riddles:
Beth had 5 coins. The amount of the coins is 38 cents. What coins does Beth have?
This coin riddles pages was such a GREAT way to work on making exact change!
Here is an example of one of the riddles:
Beth had 5 coins. The amount of the coins is 38 cents. What coins does Beth have?
I found it to be most effective when we worked with real coins. Of course you could always use play money, especially in a classroom setting. Some of the printables are great for independent work, and some are great for teaching. This was a page that we worked through together! The perfect challenge!
Measurement: Inches and Centimeter
We pulled out the measuring tape (from the sewing box) and got to work!
It was so fun because we got to measure the snowmen Puddles, Shorty, Buttons and Frosty!
We measured the height...
Subtraction with Regrouping
I always like to incorporate a couple of skills on each page. In this page, we did subtraction with regrouping. Then, you had to color the lights green or red, depending on if they were odd or even.
Working on Dictionary Skills….
*Find the word in the dictionary (working on ABC order)
*Write the page number
*Write the guide words on that page
*Write the definition
*Use it in a sentence
Making New Words...
This is such a great way for kids to work on making words! We cut out the letter tiles at the bottom of the page, and used them to make as many words as we could.
I hope that these NO PREP packets are super helpful to you during the busy month of December and that they make learning FUN, engaging and hands-on!
