Christmas centers
By 3rd grade teacher

I have old Christmas cards in my writing center. On the back of each there are several words. They have to write a story using the words and to go along with the picture. They really enjoy this.

Maybe you could have
a craft in one center.
Also someone on another board had a neat idea on symmetry (symme"tree"). You might could incorporate that into your math center. My students were given half a Christmas tree with various ornaments on them (on construction paper) . They had to create the other half of the tree making it symmetrical. Maybe you could have ornaments in a basket for them to sort.
You

could choose a picture book to use for writing. They could continue the book, change one of the characters, etc. and rewrite their own.

Hope these help a little.
