Winter Fun (and a Freebie!) For Your Primary Classroom

I'm thrilled to be joining Stephanie from Mrs. D's Corner and a pile other amazing teacher bloggers in sharing some of our favorite winter teaching tips! We have winter ideas for your classroom and a free eBook full of winter activities for your primary students! (Please note that the giveaway is long over, but the goodies are still available for you!)

One of my favorite ways to bring winter into my classroom is with books. I LOVE picture books and have a huge collection that I pull out each year. Some of my favorites are:

I have reading response activities available for some of these books in my Teachers Pay Teachers store! If you are new to Teachers Pay Teachers (my all-time favorite site for teaching resources!), you can set up a free account here!

Art is a great way to bring some winter fun into your classroom! I taught my students about pointillism recently and we created some winter snow globe scenes.

This was super-easy to do and the final products are SO cute!!
