A Sleigh Full of Goodies- Day 5

I am so excited for the Christmas break. My parents are coming to our place for the first time, my daughter is getting more and more excited about Christmas...and on the 29th my husband and I are flying out to Mexico for a fellow teacher's wedding!

We haven't been away together since our honeymoon 5 years ago and it will be the first time we've been away that long from our daughter. Exciting and scary.

But enough of that, back to the freebies. 



I am working on teaching my Grade 3's all about the different genres of reading in order to implement a 40 book reading challenge for them. They are getting pretty excited about it and I am too. I plan to incorporate some data management aspects and hopefully a media project or 2!

To start it all off, of course, I have been introducing them to the genres and to do that I created these genre cards. We did a huge sort in the library with the librarian and it was very interesting. I learned that my students didn't know that they could or should read the synopsis on the back of a book. They didn't realize that you could preview the book inside by reading a little bit. This will all become future mini-lessons of course.

And now, without further ado here are the reading genre cards just for you.




Thanks for coming back each day to check out the freebies. I would love for everyone to link up below with any freebies they have posted right now...Christmas or otherwise!

Pass the word along!
