This New Year set covers the first week back in January 2027 with math, reading, goal setting, writing and coloring in one place. Children solve New Year math, read two passages about New Year traditions, pick a word for the year and set goals — and the whole set comes in color and black-and-white versions, so it works whether the classroom printer is color or not.
The math runs through nine pages in two levels. Children color by number to solve a mystery picture, sort party-hat sums into odd and even, spot mistakes in subtraction, work through multiples mazes, explore place value in All About 2027, do January 2027 calendar math, work out countdown-to-midnight elapsed time, solve party-planning word problems and build a Make 2027 number puzzle. Two reading passages in two levels — New Year Around the World and New Year's Day — carry the reading work.
The goal-setting pages are the heart of the January return. Twelve pages cover My One Word 2027, a My One Word banner, My Goals for 2027, My New Year Goals, a goal tracker, 2027 resolutions, My New Year's Wish, three-level writing pages and a goals tracker. Children pick a word, write about it and track it, and the pages give the first week back a purpose beyond review.
Eleven coloring pages, six bulletin-board pages and six calendar pages — a January 2027 calendar and a one-page 2027 calendar — finish the set, with seven answer-key pages for checking. The set works for the first week back, for New Year math and reading review, for goal setting and resolutions, for a New Year bulletin board, for early finishers and as a substitute plan.

The first week back needs review and a fresh start at the same time, and this set gives both: math and reading that shake off the break, and goal-setting pages that give January a purpose. Two levels of math and three levels of writing mean the whole class works on the same New Year at the depth that fits.
It is written for grades 2 to 5. The math pages come in two levels, and the goal-setting writing pages come in three levels.
The set has 61 pages: 9 math pages in 2 levels, 2 reading passages in 2 levels, 12 goal-setting and writing pages, 11 coloring pages, 7 answer-key pages, 6 bulletin-board pages and 6 calendar pages, plus teacher and student pages.
The math covers mystery color by number, party-hat odd and even sums, spot-the-mistake subtraction, multiples mazes, All About 2027 place value, January 2027 calendar math, countdown-to-midnight elapsed time, party-planning word problems and a Make 2027 number puzzle.
Yes. Seven answer-key pages are included, and the pages come in color and black-and-white versions.
