It's hard to avoid the holiday spirit when the stores are fully decorated for Christmas and playing Christmas music overhead (even though we're still weeks away from Thanksgiving). I got sucked in this weekend when my husband and I headed out to do some holiday shopping... then, I got excited and started creating lessons and stations for my classroom this Christmas!
Studying different versions of The Gingerbread Man is probably my favorite thing to do with my students in December. They get so excited about the Gingerbread Man and it can so easily be tied across the curriculum. What is your favorite thing to do with your students in December?

Your activities look GREAT!! All these great holiday ideas are making me want to start planning for the holidays. My students love making a chain {from contruction paper} to count down the days to Christmas. I have the strips pre-cut so all they have to do is link and glue. I also have them practice making a pattern by using red and green strips of paper. We do this on or before December 1st.
