Christmas themed advent calendar
I created a Christmas advent calendar for my class, involving different Christmas themed activities that I found on Teachers Pay Teachers, Seesaw or Google (thank you to those that provided them)! Some are reading, maths or crafts. Each day we will take off the number present and reveal the task for the day!
