Kindness & Christmas – Spread Christmas Spirit Wherever You Go

By Sparking Children’s Thinkibility

Grade: Kindergarten – Grade 5

Everyone can make a difference. Everyone can be kind. And everyone can have creative ideas about acts of kindness during the Festive Season!

There are many wonderful and creative lists where you can select acts of kindness that your students can carry out during December. If you are looking for ways to spark some thinking and give the creative muscles a workout, it may be a good idea to simply forget the lists, and instead, think dive into kindness and ways to spread it a bit deeper.

I love using questions to inspire thinking. And this method is increasingly becoming more popular.

What is kindness? Where in the body do you feel kindness? And how can you describe it?

Creating your own words is a great activity and the words can be used to write wonderful personal poems. The poems can be spread around in the neighborhood to spread some kindness. Or. . .

christmas-carols

 

CHRISTMAS CAROLS! (FUN PACKET FOR ALL INCLUDING SPANISH ELL’S) presents selections from Christmas carols in English as well as gives the Literal (word-for-word) Spanish, which makes it easier for students of Spanish-language backgrounds to understand the English words in the carols better and thus be able to more easily and quickly learn them and get an accompanying boon for their vocabulary and grammar. Some German carols have also been added, with the Literal English given for them.

Contents: Angels We Have Heard On High, Deck The Halls, The First Noel, Go Tell It On The Mountain, Jingle Bells, Jolly Old St. Nicholas, Joy To The World, O Christmas Tree, Silent Night, The Twelve Days Of Christmas, Upon The House Top, We Wish You A Merry Christmas; then come:

Any use of “aligned with,” “aligned to” or the like simply mean in the supportive spirit of and again do not state or imply an endorsement.

REASONS TO CONSIDER PURCHASING FROM THIS STORE: 1. Tons of resources, 2. so much reusable over the years ahead, 3. buying it is more convenient than trying to make it yourself, 4. students enjoy the fun components so that they stay more on task learning more and better, 5. most word searches have a format helping teach information with the words, 6. most resources have reading components tied into with other components making them more handy and helpful, 7. They have an attractive, professional appearance, 8. Many resources have some Spanish to help ESL/ELL students to not be totally left out; 9. the prices are right; and, 10: you’ll love it that your students stay busy learning like happy bees at the honey hive of knowledge, your classroom, even as they have in mine since these have been teacher and students-tested.

THE SPANISH used in some resources in my store is more the informal Latino Spanish actually used by most students from Latin America than the formal Castillian of Spain; so there are some differences in grammar, spelling and or vocabulary even as there are with American and British English.
