Google's Santa Tracker/Advent Calendar

Google's Santa tracker has more to offer than meets the eye!  Like an advent calendar, new activities "open" up every day to help you count down to Christmas.  So far, activities include learning about holiday traditions, creating a snowflake, Santa selfies and my favorite, coding activities for k-3 students!

Thanks Sheila Creaser for the heads up on this site!

Show it With Media

Personally, I like the 5 Photo Story idea... It can be a fun, quick way to retell a story, explain how to do something or review for a test.
