What is the Holidays Around the World Emergent Reader?
⌄
Five sheets with two half pages each: a cover with a name line and nine pages, one per holiday. Each page has one repeating sentence, such as "On Hanukkah, we light the menorah," "On Las Posadas, we break a piñata" and "On Lohri, we sit by a bonfire."
Can I use the Holidays Around the World Emergent Reader at home and in the classroom?
⌄
Yes. We made it for Kindergarten to 1st Grade holiday activities, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.
How many Kindergarten to 1st Grade Holidays Around the World resources are there?
⌄
1 printable resource, all free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.
What age are Holidays Around the World resources for?
⌄
These are written for Kindergarten to 1st Grade students, roughly ages 5-7. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.
Can I use these Holidays Around the World resources for homeschool?
⌄
Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a Kindergarten to 1st Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
