Informational Texts Teaching Resources
for Christmas
One thing for sure, during those two weeks before Christmas break, keeping wound-up students engaged in learning without a good plan is about as easy as keeping a submarine with screen doors afloat. Santa understands!
How about a collection of excellent, kid-oriented, ready-to-use Informational Texts lessons—all of them CCSS aligned—two of them FREE and the rest from $1 to $3.50?
It’s already December 10th, but not too late to grab a few more holiday life boats!
