Common Core Snowy Reading (with a freebie)

Happy New Year! For those of you who are already back to school, I hope you are having a great week! I don't go back until Monday and, as much as I love teaching, I am LOVING my time off. I'm hoping for some snow to finish up my break, but the odds are against me! Even though we don't get a lot of snow here, I still love some good snowy-related school activities! I made this ready-to-go snowy reading pack to use during these next couple winter months.    


Click HERE to get to this resource.



Here is a preview of the pages in this pack. It is divided into these sections: phonics, language/grammar, reading activities, reading passages (with graphic organizers,) and writing (with graphic organizers and rubrics.)




















You can get this by clicking HERE or on the button below. 

     


Here's a freebie for everyone from the pack:

You can get it by clicking on any of the pictures 



Update: I also wanted to add a FREEBIE into the preview for you all. You can download this free in the preview of the pack HERE






In the spirit of snowy fun, here's some pictures from our mountain trip:

Owen's first time seeing snow and he was not amused...

Clearly not very happy about this snow business.



Shawn loves everything about the snow!

  15. Thank you for the freebie. I will use it during my writers' workshop time. We have plenty of snow here in South Dakota. I think your favorite thing is making snowcones out of fresh snow. Liz in snowy South Dakota

  22. Thanks everyone! Great guesses. As I read each one, I was thinking, "Oh I love that too". Can you tell I want snow badly? :) My favorite as a kid was definitely sledding but now I also love just playing in the snow with my family. So actually, there are a couple of winners of this pack! Thank you all so much for your comments! It made my day and it was fun to see the guesses! :) Have a great day everyone!
