Cozy December is a no prep 1st grade December packet that covers math, literacy and writing with a winter and holiday theme. Pages are black and white and low ink, so you can print the month and be ready.
The math section reaches 19 first grade skills. Students roll, add and color ornaments, solve color by sum mystery pictures, find missing addends and missing numbers in subtraction, and work with number bonds, fact families and ten-frame subtraction. Place value, skip counting, number charts, comparing numbers, telling time, counting coins, measuring with cubes, tally charts, bar graphs, ordinal numbers and calendar work keep earlier skills fresh.
Literacy pages cover 14 skills, including color by digraph and blend, short and long vowel sorting, magic e, sight words, ABC order, nouns, verbs and adjectives, complete sentences and Fix It Up editing. Two original reading passages come with comprehension questions, and students build words from WINTER and SNOWFLAKE.
Writing and craft pages add four winter prompts, a Letter to a Friend, an optional Dear Santa letter, a Snowman Word Craft and four foldable holiday cards. Twenty activities come in two levels with matching layouts, which makes differentiation simple during centers or small groups.
A 4-week December lesson plan, teacher notes, a student packet cover and complete answer keys are included in the 75 pages for morning work, centers, homework, early finishers, sub plans and homeschool.
