Advent Calendar Day Ten

Today, I have a free download for you that will help students practice organizing details within paragraphs while also learning about Hanukkah!

This activity came from my mentor text unit for Oskar and the Eight Blessings, but you don’t need the book to complete the activity.

(I would still encourage you to read the book to your students, though! It’s a heartwarming story that shows how small acts of kindness can make such a difference. If you don’t want to buy it, you can always check the library for a copy!)

The book link in this post is an affiliate link. It doesn’t cost you anything extra to purchase using my links, and Amazon gives me a few cents per purchase which I use to fund awesome giveaways for teachers!
