December Math and Literacy Pack - FREEBIES! — Keeping My Kiddo Busy (2024)

I am sharing THREE free activities from this pack right here on the blog post.

I hope you love these activities are much as we do!

A peek at our December ELA activities….

My Monthly No Prep Packs all come with a themed emergent reader.

My students love making these each month!

I first read it whole group, then they trace the sentences, color the pictures and we split off to read them with partners.

Then they get to take them home and read them to their families.

They are so proud of their little books!

By the middle of the year, they get the routine enough that this becomes an independent literacy center.

By now, most of my students have mastered rhyming and syllables, but I still include these practice pages in every one of my monthly no prep packs.

I also always include a monthly writing prompt, goal setting sheet and labeling practice.

Children like the routine of these pages.

We set goals every month, and I keep them in a portfolio for parents at the end of the year.

It is an awesome way to document their progress! I do the same with their writing prompts.

My students have gotten pretty good at first sound matching, but they need more help with last sounds.

This pack addresses first, middle and last sounds.

We also practice using context clues to figure out the missing CVC word.

Have you started practicing sequencing with your students?

We practice retelling and sequencing after most stories whole group.

I want my students to practice the key words first, next, then and finally. They're definitely getting it!

This adorable word family sleigh sorting is also a freebie!

A peek at our December sight words….

Each month, I try to teach my students six new sight words.

Sometimes this is an easy feat, and sometimes the struggle is real.

This month we tackle the words: now, she, am, one, good, up.

I always use the same three activities shown.

All three activities are included for each of the six words. The work is done for you!

This saves me a ton of time, plus my students know the drill so I don't have to repeat directions, expectations, etc.

These sight word worksheets WORK, and my kiddos love them!

Better yet, all of myMonthly No Prep Packscome with these exact sight word activities, but each month focuses on a different six words.

In math right now, I am really trying to solidifynumbers 1-10, more and lessand 1:1 correspondence.

We will be tackling numbers 11-20 when we get back from winter break.

Cut and paste activities are a fun way to practice ordering numbers.

We do this for numbers 1-20, teen numbers, counting on and one more/one less.

We also do a lot of work with number lines this month, and students are becoming more confident with using them.

This pack also addresses using number lines, making ten, 2D/3D shapes, ordering by size and more!

Most of my class are not ready for addition and subtraction story problems quite yet, but my advanced little group is.

We practice skip counting by 5s and 10s every month!
