Writing Santa a Letter

 


WRITE SANTA A LETTER

Do your students know how to write a letter? Maybe they don’t know what a letter is? It would be great if K-1 students learned how to write a letter to Santa.

Santa Letter Activities

I created a teaching resource that takes your student step-by-step leading up to writing Santa a letter. Teachers, this packet has lots of choices that will allow you to differentiate and have your students write the letter and put it into a Christmas envelope.

I have made this resource available on Amped Up Learning and Teachers Pay Teachers.

 

Standards-Based

This is a standards-based resource that is divided into 6 sections. Teachers, you will have lots of choices of what activities to assign to your students. Your students will be writing a list, writing sequence, tracing, drawing, and labeling. Lesson instructions have been included. 

CC-W.K.1-3, CC-W.1.2-3

 

Letter Materials

In the Letter-Writing Materials Section Students will learn what materials are needed to create a letter. Students can begin by tracing a list of letter supplies or can write a list of letter supplies. The next step could be drawing and labeling the letter materials or writing what materials are needed to write Santa a Letter. Students could end this section by telling the sequence steps for writing Santa a letter.



It includes a Santa Vocabulary list that students can trace and color.


Make a Toy Wish List

I call the next section Toy Choices. These activities will prepare them to make a toy wish list. You will have the choices to assign the trace and color or the write and color a set of toys. You know your students and what they need. Then they can get the graphic organizer and draw and label their toy choices. To end this section, students will draw-label-write about their toy choices and create the Toy Wish List.


Santa Face Activities 

The fourth section is the Santa Face Activities. They will get to trace and color or label and color Santa’s face. At the end of this section, students can either make a list of Santa’s Face Features or write about them.


All About Santa

The next part is the All About Santa where they will fill an info chart, Santa Buzz, telling what Santa is like. Then they get to make a Mini Santa Book (print front and back on the short edge) telling the sequence of Santa coming to visit.


Santa Letter

The final section is writing the actual letter. A model letter is provided that you can review with your students. Then they can either trace and fill a sentence frame or write their own letter. Then they can color a Santa topper and add it to their letter (great for decorating a bulletin board). Or they can color and fold the Christmas Envelope and place their letter in the envelope. Teachers, I would have the students do both Santa letters and one can go into the envelope and you can use the other to decorate your bulletin board.



This resource was made with love and care for beginning writers.
