These March Tab-Its® are just the ticket! They allow teachers to acknowledge each of the March holidays and events without taking too much time out of your day!
As teachers, we have A LOT of curriculum to cover in a short amount of time, yet we still want our kiddos to have FUN and learn about the different holidays and seasonal events throughout the school year!
These March Holiday Tab-Its® can be used whole group after you read a mentor text on the specific holiday, they can be used at your Work on Writing Station or Center, and/or they can be used during your Guided Reading group time.
DIGITAL OPTIONS NOW INCLUDED:
We have now added Google Slide activities to accompany each unit. You can click on the Google Slides link, make a copy, and now begin using it with your students. You can add the Google Slide links to Google Classroom, via email, Microsoft Teams, and Seesaw, etc. This will give you the ability to provide the unit activities digitally to your students.
