December Kindergarten Word Work

December Word Work includes:  want  to   get   now   give   from   find   many

With this packet students will work, write, spell and read using the words for the month while completing enjoyable and meaningful activities!

 Assessment pages for writing and spelling.

Final assessment for reading, writing, and spelling growing with each week's new words.

Cards for introduction and posting.

I have the students decorate the plain words, cut them out and put them on a ring.  They can practice reading them throughout.  At the end of the month if they recognize the word it goes home and if not it stays on the ring for more practice.

I love the cut and paste activities included for each word.

Here are sample pages of practicing printing the word, writing with the word and reading the word.
