Snag 4 weeks of meaningful vocabulary activities for January for your 1st-3rd grade classroom! These vocabulary activities use holiday picture books to teach tier 2 vocabulary words in an engaging way! This impactful routine will help your students master new vocabulary words each week while enjoying seasonal read-aloud books.
This January Vocabulary Activities Bundle includes these 4 weekly vocabulary units:
Throughout the week students practice the 4 weekly vocabulary words in a variety of ways and record their thinking in an interactive journal. A brief assessment can be done at the end of the week to see how well students have retained the new vocabulary words.
Note: While these units complement the mentioned picture books, they do not provide the text and the books are not required for utilizing the materials.
You’ll love how easy it is to implement this easy routine for meaningful seasonal learning and your students will love using the new vocabulary they learn!
Each unit includes:
Vocabulary Words (for posting on the board during discussions)
Word Cards that coordinate with the picture book
