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: going from real objects to pictures to symbols is a core recommendation of the U.S. Department of Education's elementary math guide.
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: a catchy, repeating tune gives the brain a hook to hang words on, so sung text is remembered better (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: spreading practice out over days is one of the two most effective study methods in a major research review (Dunlosky and colleagues, 2013).
