December Homework Ideas

This is a collection
of ideas that can be used as homework activities or
as individual skill practice in the classroom.
There are ideas for helping you set up a Homework
Plan that can be used for each week throughout the
school year.
There are four weekly
packages and the Gingerbread Man home project with
more than 30 printable pages. Even though you
might not need four weeks of homework for December,
you can pick and choose which ones you would like to
do. The others can also be used in your
classroom for skill work.

A fun Gingerbread Man home project is also included

Gingerbread Men/Women"

Several choices are
given for letters. You can choose which letter
you would like to use. One letter can be
completely edited if you would like to make changes.

Week 1 Homework
Included in this
week's homework packet is a fun activity to do with
the students. Each child decorates a small
Gingerbread Man (in class) and pretends that he has
run away. He/She takes the Gingerbread Man home with a letter to
explain the project to the parents. There is
another letter for each child to send to a friend or
family member (preferably out-of-state) asking them
to send your class a post card from where they live.
You might like to use this as part of your Social
Studies unit and use a large map for a bulletin board
to track where the Gingerbread Man traveled.
Patterns and letters are included for your class to
complete this fun project!

is shown at left. This cover sheet is
