Jingle all the way to learning!
December is busy, and Christmas themes are a great way to keep first graders learning while the excitement builds. Kids can practice short vowel CVC words like h-a-t, b-e-d, f-u-n, add within 20 with snowmen and ornaments, and work out fact families like 3 + 4 = 7, 7 - 4 = 3. They can write a letter, sort nouns, and sing classic holiday songs that build reading fluency. Families celebrate the season in many ways, so it's a nice time to let kids share their own traditions too. The click moment is when the holiday fun and the learning become the same thing.
These moves keep real first grade skills front and center while the holiday adds the sparkle.
Give kids letter cards on paper ornaments and have them build short vowel words on a tree mat. Then they read each word to a partner. Building words letter by letter keeps phonics practice hands-on during a busy month.
Why it works: the U.S. Department of Education's guide for teaching elementary math recommends moving from hands-on objects to drawings to numbers.
Try it withCVC Short Vowel Sounds ActivityActivitiesOpen it →Put up the words to Jingle Bells and point to each word as kids sing. Then have them find sight words and rhyming words in the lyrics. Singing a song they already know helps early readers read with confidence.
Why it works: words set to a repeating melody are easier to recall than the same words spoken (Wallace, 1994).
Try it withJingle Bells LyricsWorksheetsOpen it →Do one short fact family page a few times a week in December. Each page mixes in families from earlier weeks. Steady practice keeps math facts growing even when the schedule is full of holiday events.
Why it works: short practice spread over several days beats one long session, according to a large review of learning research (Dunlosky and colleagues, 2013).
