Save Christmas

Hi Friends,

I am soooooo excited to share this new unit with all of you.

I collaborated with my best friend Valerie from All Students Can Shine for this magical and fun pack and we had the best time making this for our students and all of you!

This unit is chalk filled with engaging academic activities.

Students will have to complete a mission to SAVE CHRISTMAS. Santa's sleigh is broken and the students need to complete a series of six challenges to figure out the secret code to fix it.

Here is a little sneak peek at what you will find in three of the challenges!

Tree Trimming Challenge

Students will receive an envelope filled with instructions and all the tools they need to complete the challenge. The Tree Trimming Challenge requires students to build a Christmas Tree, read the riddles on the tree and stick the corresponding vocabulary words on top of the riddles.

Once completed, the students open the Challenge Completed folder and grab a secret code word and read a note about their next challenge!

Elves' Toy Shop

Students will receive an envelope filled with instructions and all the tools they need to complete the challenge. The Elves' Toy Shop Challenge requires students to count and tally the toy cards, complete a graph and then figure out how many of each toy Bruce the Elf is missing.

Once completed, the students open the Challenge Completed folder and grab a secret code word and read a note about their next challenge! This activity is differentiated two ways: numbers from 1-20 (using tally marks) and numbers from 1-100 (using tens and ones).

Elves' Apartments

Students will receive an envelope filled with instructions and all the tools they need to complete the challenge. The Elves' Apartments Challenge requires students to read the mini-book prompt and then write their own ending to the story.

Students can keep track of their challenges with a Missing Tracker and keep all of their completed work in a TOP SECRET Classified Information Folder.

Once all the challenges have been completed students (or the teacher) can type in the secret code to fix Santa's sleigh! They will then be directed to a video message from Santa himself!
