December is now upon us and with the joy and festivities also comes some stress in the classroom. So, how can you make that a little easier on yourself? The usual classroom guidelines sometimes need to be made less stringent and allow your students a way to celebrate while still covering learning goals and outcomes.
Using Christmas resources is really no different than choosing a theme for your teaching lessons. You can weave the theme into your lessons and add some extra joy for your students. I always gave the students who didn't celebrate Christmas the choice of doing the activities, or not. I usually had something else on hand (winter themed) that they could do as an alternate choice.
There are always activities that will work with a variety of grade levels and with students' interests.
Have a look at these. They cover a variety of activities and I'm sure you'll find something that you will like and that will work with your Christmas THEME.
