Kindergarten Lessons and Ideas for December
I love teaching kindergarten in December!
We get to learn about so many fun things, and we have been settling into a nice routine (finally!)
Print these free lesson plans HERE and place them in a three ring binder.
There are clickable links and FREEBIES throughout every week of December.
These plans outline all the standards and resources I use to teach morning work, phonics, math, reading, enrichment (themed weekly read aloud stories), centers, writing and handwriting.
All activities and resources are aligned to the kindergarten Common Core standards. They also closely align to almost all state standards as well.
Just print, hole punch and place in your lesson planning binder. My hope is by sharing my lesson plans with you, your planning become stress free!
WE ARE HAVING SO MUCH FUN LEARNING IN DECEMBER!

You asked, so I listened!
