About this resource
One theme, one week. Read the same read-aloud every day at circle time, and pull one simple
activity after it each day -- sort, count, find the letter, a life skill, then a craft. Every student
page has one short instruction with a picture, so a paraprofessional can run the room from it too.
This week pairs with A Hibernation Picture Book of Your Choice by any author you like (or any similar read-aloud you already have). Not affiliated with the
authors or publisher. You need your own copy of the book; nothing from it is reproduced here.

Three Levels On Every Academic Task
Sort, count, letters and writing each come in three levels, marked with a small shape instead of a
number so children don't compare theirs to a neighbor's.
Cutting Built For Small Hands
Every cutting page carries 5 or more pieces, lined up edge to edge so each cut is one straight line.
Color Or Ink-Saver
Print the color pages, or use the ink-saver twins at the back on a photocopier.
Who This Is For
Any teacher starting a self-contained preschool or early childhood special education classroom who
wants a whole week of circle time, ready to pull and go.
What This Is, And What It Is Not
A print-and-go weekly theme unit. It is not a claim about any student's age or rate of progress, and
it does not reproduce any book, its text, or its artwork.
