See What Other Teachers Are Saying . . .

I’m new to second grade this year and wanted to do a reindeer day! This was a great addition to some other resources I had already collected for the day- thanks!

My students LOVED learning about the reindeer. I used this as a filler for the weeks before break. It was a hit! Students were engaged and loved it.

My students loved these activities for our Reindeer day! Very engaging.
