I am finally done with my December Center menu! It has all sorts of goodies included. The whole packet is 100 pages. Here a small snapshot from the packet to give you an idea:

Here is the student menu.

There are 4 reading centers:

Rebuild a poem: This is the student sheet, but the actual center is written in a pocket chart. Students are given the first word of each line of the poem in the pocket chart, then need to rebuild the rest of the poem. Two poems are included.

Read, Visualize, Draw: Students read each sentence, pause to visualize, then draw what they are visualizing.

Read, Think Match: Students read and cut out each small strip of clues. Each strip has clues like, "I am wearing a scarf. I am holding a tree. I have a hat. Who am I?" They have to use these clues to match to the correct picture. I purposefully put the clues in such an order that they would have to read all the clues to match correctly. Lots of reading and thinking! Two versions are included to meet the needs of your class: this one with 6 pictures and one with only 4 pictures.

Read and Sequence: Students read and cut each sentence strip. Glue in order. Two different choices for this center.

End Blends: Students match the ornaments with pictures to the correct tree blend ending. For example, an ornament may have a picture of a vest with the letters v e _ _. They would place this ornament on the tree with the -st.

s orting station: students sort picture cards to the correct vowel.

Contraction Stack: Students match the top word pair to the bottom contraction to finish the snowman.

Sounds of y: Students will read each gingerbread man and decide if the y in the word makes the long i sound or long e sound, then place it on the correct gingerbread house. Pictured above is the student worksheet.

Mystery bag: students will give clues about an item in the mystery bag, practicing descriptive language.

Post office: 4 prompt cards included for ideas of who to write to (pictured above are two) and 4 students worksheets are included (one pictured below)

Holiday lists: 3 pages are included (with 2 lists on each page)

and 4 Sentence Building Centers

Asking or Telling: Students place each sentence strip on the correct mat (labeled asking or telling). Each picture has two sentences: one question and one statement. Two student worksheets are included: One version where students just add the punctuation and the other where students must write out the whole sentence and add punctuation.

Sentence Scrambler: 3 sentences included and a students worksheet.

Sentence Wheel: This was featured on a previous post. Students spin the wheel to make different sentences.

Word Endings: Students choose -ed or -ing to fit with the sentence. I place the sentences on chart paper first with the -ed and -ing endings on separate cards with magnetic tape on the back. Students add the endings first to the chart, then reread to check for accuracy, then write the answers on the student sheet.

My kids LOVE these menus! They are so nice for me because I don't have to put out new centers every week. Once you have them all cut, laminated and made, then you have then done for the next year and it takes very little prep (just copying student sheets). So nice!

Check out my tips on how to organize here.

I'd love to hear your feedback! Thanks:)

Make a fun and engaging Christmas literacy activity with this post office writing table learning area! Early writing skills and imaginative role play combined into a fun invitation to play.

When I was teaching, one of my most favourite areas to set up and rotate in my classroom was the writing and mark-making area. Children absolutely adore having access to real tools and materials, and often combine imaginative play with meaningful literacy when they see it as being presented for a purpose.

I set up a little table top in our living room to create a Christmas post office area, all ready for writing cards and letters and posting them straight away in their own little post box.
Onto the table went:
envelopes in different sizes

blank cards

paper and card in different sizes

alphabet stamps and ink

glue, scissors, pens and pencils

gold parcel ribbon

snowflake sequins

red parcel bows

Christmas themed sight word cards e.g. merry, happy, thank you, from, Christmas, Santa etc

At the back of the table I put a little DIY Santa post box that I made from a shallow Amazon packaging box, covered in red paper with a slot at the front and opening flap at the back to collect the mail from. Around the slot I stuck cotton wool balls to represent Santa's beard and added a belt and button details around the front too. The post box was extremely popular!

Then I simply left them to discover it and start playing and using the resources in their own way. While they played we talked a bit about how post offices work and what the postal workers have to do each day, both in collecting and delivering the mail, as well as checking the envelopes are stamped and addressed properly.

They enjoyed writing cards for family and friends and each use the materials at their own stages of literacy development. Miss 2 experimented with lots of scribbles and mark making, Miss 4 did lots of letter strings and initial sounds in her words, whereas Miss 6 was able to write and address hers using mostly accurate writing or good phonetic attempts. They are planning to distribute them to their friends over the next week or so in time for Christmas!
What they are learning while they play:
literacy: that print carries meaning, writing for a purpose, writing letters and cards, mark making, using phonics to make good attempts at unknown words, reading and writing sight words

knowledge and understanding: the role of postal workers, how mail boxes work, how addresses and stamps work
