What educators are saying

They provide a brief opportunity for finding the main idea and details. Very helpful for kids who struggle with longer passages and need quick practice to reinforce the structure of a paragraph.

Description

This is a fun, winter craftivity for teaching the concept of main idea or main topic! Let your students join the winter fun by finding the main idea and the supporting details and then recording it on a snowman craft! This makes a creative bulletin board or school hallway display!

There are 8 different themes/main topics included in this packet. There are two versions of the worksheet. One page has lines to support beginning writers and the other page has no lines for students who are stronger writers to allow them to write more. The passages are the same on both pages.


The Snowman "Craft" Graphic Organizer comes in 2 different sizes and you have the option of an organizer with lines or without lines. Looking for just the graphic organizer/craft to pair with ANY text? Click HERE! Scaffold and differentiate with these passages to fit your kids individual needs.

The following Winter subjects are included:

⭐ How to Build a Snowman

⭐ Reindeer

⭐ Snow/Cold

⭐ Winter Sports

⭐ Arctic Foxes

⭐ Christmas

⭐ Hanukkah

⭐ Kwanzaa

There is an "answer key" to go with all of the passages. This is the "main idea and key details" I had in mind as I wrote it and what I am hoping my students will identify. It is just a starting point/guide to make it even EASIER for you!

I have used these activities in my own first grade classroom. All of the texts are leveled by lexile to be grade level appropriate for first grade, but it could also work well with advanced kindergartners or second graders. All of the reading levels are between 200 - 500L (Which is somewhere between BAS Level D and J); it is heavy on Winter vocabulary so having that background knowledge will be helpful for readers.

Check out my preview for an example passage to help you decide if these texts are right for your students.
