Fun activity
Such a fun activity to go alongside the book! Students loved it, we then work on persuasive writing and they were applying to become elves in the north pole.
Excellent Addition
Excellent addition to your Mentor Sentences program. Love the seasonal charm these stories bring. Students love the Mentor Sentences program...
This resource was a great addition to the story and was used leading up to the Christmas holiday.
My student loved this activity. He wanted to constantly read the stories and was engaged in the whole lessons and was sad when it was over.
