* 5 can/have/are arctic animal graphic organizers
* 5 arctic animal rhyming poems (with & without illustrations, in case you'd like your students to do the illustrating!)
* All About Book template for nonfiction writing (great for including in a Daily 5 Work on Writing center)

Eskimo Sight Word Race!

We've finally made it to winter break and let me tell you, it feels good to be on vacation! It's about 12:45 and in all honesty, I haven't made it out of my pajamas yet!

I definitely will not be taking off my slippers until absolutely forced to later today. Thank you L.L. Bean for foot heaven.

Anyhoo, since I had some free time this morning, I was able to finish a game that I had been working on.

I know my firsties need lots of practice with their sight words and a game is always the best way to go.

Eskimo Sight Word Race includes dolch word cards for kindergarten, first, and second so you can make it as easy or challenging as you'd like.

Check out my TPT store to take a look!

Have a great break, everyone!
