2nd Grade Christmas, Chanukah, & Kwanzaa Independent Work Packet

Looking for a fun Christmas handwriting activity? These sentence-building worksheets include writing paper with picture boxes and will help your child or student build sentences and write sentences independently. Further, students can use the finger-spacing tool (in three different skin tones) to assist them in perfect word spacing. Students can also color Christmas-themed pictures that illustrate the sentence they are practicing writing.

NOTE: You can use the finger-spacing buddy as is, laminate it, and/or attach it to a popsicle stick for further support of little hands. It’s recommended to print the finger-spacing buddy on thicker paper, such as cardstock.

This resource includes:

   ✏ 10 Christmas-themed sentence-building worksheets

   ✏ 3 diverse pointer-finger hands

   ✏ No prep! Simply print and distribute with scissors and glue

Please download the preview to view a sample of the included pages.
