Squarehead Snowman: Prepositions Practice 1
I’ve decided I need to do more to help my ESL students. So decided to start with something simpler like prepositions. I made a total of 3 worksheets that help kids work on prepositions, and here’s the first.

Basic Fraction Practice – Winter Worksheet
What do you do to add some fun to your classroom after the holidays are over? It’s to early to bring Valentines into the picture, so what now? I say continue to use winter themed stuff. Because we can! Here’s my “picture fractions” worksheet for winter. Basically, it teaches kids to focus on what they have (numerator) compared to the whole collection (denominator). Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!

Winter Art Projects for Kids
Winter provides an opportunity to see the world in a completely different way than the rest of the year. Help children capture the wonder of winter with winter-themed art projects! Here are some of my favorites:
Snowflake Art Trading Cards: Uses watercolor and salt (source).
Owls in the Night: Uses tempera paint and cardboard (source).
Winter Tree Silhouette: Uses masking tape and watercolor paint (source).
New Years Activities & Printables for Kids
I found a great page that’s got trivia, count-downs, puzzles and printables for kids! There’s always somebody who brings a kid to the New Year’s Eve party and you have nothing for them to do! Or you’re looking for a warm-up page to give your class the first day back to school… either way, this fun website is for you!
Hand Print Paper Wreath Craft
This idea was submitted by a second grade teacher (Thank you!). She’s been making them with her class for years, and says it’s one of her favorite holiday crafts for kids. You’ll need:
- lots of green construction paper
- some red construction paper
- 1 paper plate per child
- scissors
- glue
The paper plate is the base for the craft. Cut out the center of the plate (have students write their name on the back of the paper plate at this point). Then have students trace their hands on green paper and cut the hand prints out. Glue these on the paper plate, curling the fingers in a bit by rolling them. After you’ve layered the green hands to your preference, use the red construction paper to make berries and a bow (click here for the bows & berries template). There you have it!
This craft can be fun at family parties and other gatherings where you have guests of varying ages. Having different sized-hands on the wreath adds some variety. This can also be a fun craft for grandparents to do with their grandkids, etc. Merry Christmas!
Christmas Addition & Subtraction Worksheet
