  2. Elisabeth Murphy

    I can’t wait to use this the week before Christmas to help the students stay focused and get ready for break!

  3. Sunshine and Bluebonnets

    I used this with my homeschool coop and it was perfect! I could use as much or as little as I needed for each group and each legend taught!

  4. Kerriann P M.

    Perfect comprehension tool to supplement the Christmas season as well as when teaching about legends and traditional tales.

  5. Quintina C

    A great way to combine language comprehension and Christmas-themed activities! The students are still learning, but they get their Christmas fill!

  6. Kathy G.

    These are excellent short stories with comprehension questions. My students really enjoyed reading these.

    My EL students enjoyed learning about different legends and traditions. This was an excellent resource to use before winter break!

  8. Daniele C.

    Great resource, it kept my students busy for quite a time – a great challenge!

    My students thoroughly enjoyed learning about these traditions. This was a print and go activity that kept student attention right before break.

  10. Mary Katherine Duvall

    This was so wonderful! Loved the passages and activites for my students AND my students loved it as well!

  11. Lessons Crafted with Love

    My students enjoyed some of these legends and researching the legends as activities before break

  12. Alyssa G.

    Once again, I have bought these before I had a use for them. I am still happy I did! I always buy every new $1 (on sale) resource that comes out and I have not been disappointed once!

  13. Megan Rodgers

    Thank you for creating a great resource that incorporates holiday culture with reading skills! It was the perfect product for leading up to winter break!

  14. Adrienne N.

    My students were very curious about each topic and it was a great way to wrap up the month before Winter Break began! There were many facts and stories my class did not know about related to the various holiday customs.

  15. Crystal W.

    This was a great addition to my classroom! The kids loved it and it was so easy to use!
    Thanks!

  16. Rose P.

    This resource was great because when things come up, as they often do, especially in December, this can be utilized. I used this for a substitute day so students would still be learning in my absence.

  17. Lisa S.

    I used these for homework for the last week and a half before Winter Break. My kids LOVED them! They loved learning the information about each of these topics. They cheered each day when I told them the new topic. Then the next day after, they had great discussions about what they learned without eve realizing they were practicing main idea, details, and summarizing. Great resource!

  18. Tammy K.

    My students really enjoyed learning about how each tradition started.

  19. Alfonso M.

    Great passages for the whole class to read. The questions are grade level appropriate. Fun and engaging.

  20. Made by Meagan Creative

    These passages are full of great information to use in so many ways. The comprehension questions alone are so great but I was able to use this resource in many different ways for many different standards.
