Twelve Days of Christmas Word Search
This Christmas song provides rich vocabulary development, ordinal number use and practice, alliteration, and Christmas fun. I always use lower case for my word searches because my Chinese students have a little difficulty in reading words in all upper case.

From Head to Toe Crossword
The delightful chant video by Eric Carle is the basis for this crossword puzzle. The chant links animals with body movements that the children imitate.

This activity is great f...

This is a form I use to evaluate an oral presentation. I generally complete a form, giving suggestions or making comments below each category; allow the speaker to use the form for self-evaluation; and allow a classmate to use the form for peer evaluation and suggestions.
