12 Days of Christmas – A Literacy Feast
The 12 Days of Christmas begin today. We are “off the grid” for the rest of the year. Like you we are enjoying time with family and friends.
Our gift to you is a collection of 12 Days of Christmas. Literacy style. Enjoy some of our favorite literacy finds this year. Our 12 Days offers some new research, creative literacy ideas, and a few book list suggestions.
This is the only 12 Days of Christmas that give you the guilt-free answer to “I’m bored” during Winter Break.
Grab a cup of eggnog (or your favorite holiday beverage), sit back, and enjoy the feast!
