Columbus Day Activities and a FREEBIE

October 7, 2013 Maria Manore Gavin 8 Comments

Columbus Day is coming up! If you’re in need of a little inspiration to update and jazz up your lesson plans, look no further! I have a few great resources to help integrate this holiday into your ELA lessons.

Christopher Columbus Interactive Sight Word Reader

Help your students master sight word “is” with my newest Interactive Sight Word Reader, “This is Christopher Columbus!” This six-page emergent reader uses predictable text to share some basic facts about Christopher Columbus. For each page of the book, students cut and glue letters to spell “is” and complete the sentences.

“This is Christopher Columbus” sells for just $1 on Teachers Pay Teachers.

This full-page printout divides into two smaller coloring pages. My students always do a better job of coloring if they have a smaller picture to fill in.

In addition to a standard coloring page, this makes a great roll and cover activity when you add a dice!

Regular plastic dice make way to much noise for my sensitive ears so I bought a giant tub of foam die. Now my students have fun but my classroom remains quiet and peaceful. Many great foam dice products are available on Amazon. 

The Bundle of Books

Want to know more about my Interactive Sight Word Readers? My kinders just LOVE those little books, and I know many other classroom teachers have been signing their praises as well. One teacher said her class refers to my Interactive Sight Word Readers as “the puzzle books.” How cute is that? Another recent reviewer said:

If you only buy one thing buy this. Of all the items I have bought on teacher pay teacher this one is the best!!! The children love them,the parents and I do too. Thanks for doing all your work. This is really well worth the money!!!”
