The turkey has been eaten and it's officially time for the holidays! Get your classroom and students in the holiday spirit with these festive learning packs—we have some great lessons and activities to inspire you all month long.
We have lots to choose from throughout the year on MimioConnect™, our interactive teaching community. These holiday picks will get you started on the right track this month:
Holiday Gallery Pack
This seasonal pack contains fun holiday images, lessons, and activities. Use the templates and clipart to create your own MimioStudio™ lessons, or use our pre-made activities in the Lessons tab. We have recently renovated the lessons, so they utilize all the newer features of the MimioStudio software.
Please note that if you previously downloaded the Holiday Pack, you may want to delete it before adding this one to your MimioStudio Gallery. The lessons have all been adapted to a wider format—more room on each page means more student interactivity and learning!
December Calendar and Morning Meeting Pack
HO HO HO! We have updated, renovated, and expanded the 2017–18 calendars and morning meetings to include all of the lesson pages in both regular and wide formats. They also have a fresh new look!
This themed lesson pack features calendars, morning meeting activities, an attendance chart, daily graphing activity, math activities, and more. Feel free to use it as it is or download something from the NEW Back to School Gallery Pack 2017–18 and switch out pages with the templates and images provided in the pack.
