Steven Krensky has written two books you are going to love!
How Santa Got His Job and How Santa Lost His Job tell the stories of how Santa got the best job in the world...and how he lost it!
This packet combines activities for both books. Although I published them on my blog last year, I've updated them to include the Common Core ELA Standards and put the activities for both books in one packet.

Just click on the pic above to get double the fun!
To get even more mileage out of the books, I used them both as writing prompts. Before reading, I asked the kiddos to make their own predictions about how Santa first started making and delivering toys. They wrote their own stories, then compared their predictions to the books. We did the same to tell how Santa lost his job.
Please leave a comment! I love reading them!
Have a wonderful end to your Thanksgiving weekend.
Adorable! I'm featuring this post on Bagels and Blogs tomorrow.
