Ringing In The New Year With Fun Lessons!

Are you looking for some New Year-themed activities to do with your students on their first day back? 

My Happy New Year Easy Reader Time Booklet, is a fun way to review telling time to the hour as well as reinforce reading and writing skills and review Common Core State Standard: 1.MD.3

Students trace and write the digital times and then draw hands on the analog clocks for that time.

There are opportunities for some writing practice as well. Students complete the sentences and explain what they did on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.

I’ve also included a Telling Time To The Hour certificate of praise.

When everyone is done, read the book as a whole group, to reinforce concepts of print and other reading standards.

I’ve also made some Happy New Year cards.  They can be left on students’ desks, as a note from you and then later used as a bookmark.

If you need some January calendar cards I’ve also made a set of those using the clipart of Laura Strickland.

These make a nice addition to your calendar or put them up on your word wall.  I’ve included some that students can color which would make a nice independent Daily 5 “word work” activity.
