December is a fast month in the classroom. We spend a lot of time with picture books. Want to celebrate national days in your classroom? Here are my favorite ones to spread in Room 35. I send home a list to parents of each month’s days in hopes they will celebrate at home as well.
December 12th is National Gingerbread House Day. How fun would it be to read a Gingerbread House picture book and then create Gingerbread Houses as a family? Want to send home a pdf of the recommended National Day books for December? Grab it HERE or click on the picture here.
