Rudolph is Missing is a great interactive activity/story for the SMART Board. Do the activity whole group and have your class solve this Christmas Eve mystery!

This is a great advent calendar called Santa’s Home from http://ngfl.northumberland.gov.uk. It is from 2007, but it works just fine for any year. Click on each day to see what goes on in Santa’s Home before Christmas! This would work great for PreK-2nd grade, or even older depending on the class.

The 2009-2010 Winter Wonderland Project is now open for registration!

The Winter Wonderland Project is an online project for grades K-3 that includes winter-themed technology activities with reading, writing, and math components. Registration will open on Wednesday, November 18th. The Project will begin December 1st and end February 28th. Teachers who participate will share student work on their own personal page(s) on the wiki. Suggested thematic activities and resources for each month will be provided. We will have a Featured Activity each month that we hope all classes will be able to complete. We have chosen our Featured Activity to introduce you to some new tools or websites or new uses for tools you already use. We do realize that there may be times when sites are blocked at schools or schools do not have access to the programs or tools used. If you cannot complete the Featured Activity we would still love your participation in the Winter Wonderland Project.

Please visit the Winter Wonderland Wiki at http://winterwonderland.wikispaces.com/ to register, learn about the planned activities, or to get more information about the project.

Thank you,

Winter Wonderland Project Coordinators
