These New Year's activities for kids are a great way to help students make resolutions and think about their goals for the new year. These activities are quick and easy - a perfect addition to the other lessons and crafts you have planned for your Kindergarten or First grade students!
Another New Year is here - bringing along more fresh starts and more opportunities to make New Year's resolutions! 

If you're like me, you find yourself making resolutions every year to become more prepared, organized, and ahead in your lesson planning. This year, I'm helping my kiddos think about goals and resolutions they want to make for the new year.

We're going to do that with this simple and easy to make New Years Flip Book.
Students start out choosing a boy or girl character they'd like to represent them. There are 10 to pick from...5 boys and 5 girls. 
Each character has a place for your student to write their name so that they can proudly own their goals and resolutions!
The first resolution page encourages students to consider what they will eat in the new year. This is a great time to have discussions on healthy eating. My daughter made the sample below and decided she wants to eat more healthy grapes this year! 
The next resolution page has students considering what books they would like to read. They might have a specific book they want to read...or maybe they have a certain number of books they'd like to read!
Next, what are your kiddos going to play this year? Maybe they are going to try to play something new, like a new sport or activity. Or maybe they want to try to play with something they haven't played with in a long time. 
The next resolution page is my favorite! Who will your student help this year and how will they help that person? 
Where will your kiddos visit this year? Somewhere they've never been? Or maybe a favorite location? It might be a museum, a park, or even grandma's house! 
Finally, have your students make a short and quick reference list of 5 goals they have for the new year!

Another way to incorporate New Year's Resolutions is with an emergent reader that ties in both reading and writing practice! 

The emergent reader is 6 pages long. It includes simple sentences that were made with Kindergarten and First grade in mind. 


I tried to include as many high frequency words as I could into each page. 


Practice counting to ten on the fourth page! And check out what midnight looks like on a clock on page five! 


The last page is my favorite... It sneaks some writing practice into the reading activity! Students write three short and simple resolutions. 

This emergent reader is included with many other New Year's activities in a pack.

I love that some of my kiddos are wanting to make reading more as one of their resolutions. I found these fun New Year's bookmarks from Let's Learn S'more that are FREE on Pinterest:
This noise maker is always a big hit too...even older kids LOVE making noise!
One last idea...
This New Year's fireworks paint activity is always a simple but fun one!

November is almost upon us! 
I know, I know...Halloween is still a few days away...

(and maybe I could sense your 
Friday-Halloween Party-Full Moon 
anxiety from here).

I've put together some activities that
will have you relaxing (and recouping?) this weekend instead of fretting about the new week.

This November Quick Prints pack...

Another favorite for this month is the
It's packed with 25 Common Core aligned math and literacy practice. They are set up so that you can review/teach/go over the skills on Monday, and the students will then be able to work independently Tuesday-Friday. 

Here are a few thumbnails from this pack:



You can get BOTH of these sets combined in one large DOUBLE PACK for a discounted price.

Print these out this week...before the Halloween party...so that your mind can sigh come Friday afternoon, knowing that you have a wealth of activities for the kids to do come November.

I know that this is the time of year when teachers have a ton of things to do...
Unexpected sick days start to pop up. 
Conferences and meetings start piling up.
The days (and nights) seem longer and longer.

So I created something quick and easy for you to print in a hurry.
These 45 quick-print activity sheets are just what you need for the month of November. Use them when you're in a bind, put them in your sub tub, plan them for center work, or send them home as homework.
They cover a variety of concepts in both Math and Language Arts. 
No preparation is needed-just print what you want, make your copies, and you're all set.
I'm really excited about using these-
hope you like them too!
