Milk Carton Gingerbread Houses (The Academic Way!)

Gingerbread houses this time of year are loads of fun and now they are educational too!!!  But a few years ago I was told I could no longer do them because they were not academic.  Soooo.... I made them a lesson!!!  (Oh yeah!)

FREE Countdown to Christmas Sign

Are you counting down the days 'til Christmas? I am! And so are every single one of our students. Get in on the fun and work on backward counting with this Countdown to Christmas sign. It prints on 2 pages that mount perfectly on a 12x18" sheet of construction paper. Simply print, trim, and glue the pages onto a large sheet of construction paper, then laminate. I have found that dry erase markers respond better to overhead transparencies so I use clear tape to attach a small sheet of overhead transparency (or report cover) onto the writing area. Students can write and wipe their countdown on the classroom sign every day with a  dry erase marker.

Stop by the Kinder-Craze blog to grab this great freebie (and find a sleigh-ful of fresh Christmas ideas. 

Only 17 days 'til Christmas!
