Kindergarten Christmas, Chanukah, & Kwanzaa Thematic Unit Plans

Looking for a fun way to incorporate themed vocabulary into your classroom or homeschool? Use these weekly thematic word work units to introduce new words and practice spelling, handwriting, sentence building, and drawing. This bundle includes ALL Weekly Thematic Vocabulary units, including the Winter Holiday unit.

All of the 13 included units contain five weeks of vocabulary work, except for the special Winter Holiday unit which includes six weeks. Each week features a different themed picture or pictures, six vocabulary words to learn, and five days of quick, fun activities using those words. Daily activities are numbered to keep the student on track and are quick enough to be used as morning work or in a literacy center. All units include five weeks of vocabulary work so that in months with four weeks you can choose the themes that best fit your classroom. Also included: black and white versions of all five weeks for easier printing.

This unit is great for a classroom but was developed with homeschoolers in mind. The daily format mimics several homeschool vocabulary programs to make it easy to use alongside older siblings. Pair the themes up with your themed unit studies for added learning! This vocabulary curriculum is geared towards kindergartners or first graders who need some extra vocabulary practice, but can be used by any age that needs to work on handwriting, reading, and sentence building skills.

Each week includes the following:

-Themed Introduction Page - includes a themed picture(s) and the six vocabulary words for the week. Can be laminated for a center to save on ink if using in a classroom!

-Day 1 - match the vocabulary words to their pictures

-Day 2 - trace the vocabulary words

-Day 3 - write the vocabulary words

-Day 4 - finish the sentences with the vocabulary words

-Day 5 Option 1 - copy the sentence and illustrate it

-Day 5 Option 2 - student picks a sentence from Day 4, writes it, and illustrates it
