IT'S CHRISTMAS DAVID

Our favorite mischievous character, David, is celebrating Christmas in It's Christmas, David! by David Shannon. Your Kindergarten and First Grade students will love reading about all of David's antics at Christmastime. Will David be on Santa's nice list or the naughty list this year?

IT'S CHRISTMAS DAVID BOOK ACTIVITIES AND TEACHING IDEAS

At Christmastime, everyone always said, "No David!" Can you guess why? Maybe it's because David can't help peeking at all the hidden presents. Maybe it's because he sneaks Christmas cookies or playing with the Christmas ornaments like they are toys.

Could it be because David runs down the street only wearing a hat, mittens, and boots?! David also has trouble being patient, waiting to see Santa at the mall. When he finally gets there, guess what his Christmas list looks like! (Hint: It's about a mile long)

David proceeds to break many more rules, and do many improper things. Will David get anything for Christmas, or is he on Santa's Naughty List, headed for a gift of a lump of coal? You'll have to read the book to find out!

I've made a pack of teaching activities to go with It's Christmas David. It contains book companion activities that help to connect this fun read aloud with important guided reading skills that your Kindergarten and First Graders need for literacy success.

The activities in this literacy unit are perfect for Kindergarten and First Grade learners. The unit contains activities that will help your students work on story elements, character traits, story retell, making text to self connections, problem & solution, comprehension questions, making inferences, author's purpose, main idea, and more!

This book study unit can be used as a whole class activity, during small group guided reading time, as individual student work, or as part of a book club. Copy a pack for each student and you're ready to go!

This unit of activities for It's Christmas David will save you tons of time, is no prep, and is great to leave for a sub!
