With the holidays just around the corner, keeping kids engaged in learning activities can be tricky. But what if there was a fun way to help children learn key reading skills while also getting into the holiday spirit? Enter "Rescue Rudolph,"—a digital reading game that covers reading comprehension, cause and effect, parts of speech, and synonyms. 

Let's face it, with the Christmas holidays not far away, it's no surprise that some of your students may already seem to be 'checking out' in the classroom - maybe you are too. It's important, though, to keep students working on meaningful activities and not just filling their last few days with 'fluff' and 'busy work.' In this post, you will find a range of Christmas themed activities that will keep your students entertained, but still engaged in meaningful work right up until the last day. Hopefully, these activities will also make your life in the classroom or home school a little easier too.
