I created a bilingual (PL/EN) Wigilia resource to help children raised abroad learn about our traditions: the 12 dishes, the empty place at the table, the nativity scene, the family preparations… everything that made Polish Christmas feel warm and special. 🎄❤️
I created a bilingual (Polish/English) resource that introduces children to:
✨ The meaning of Wigilia
✨ Symbolic traditions like the 12 dishes and the extra plate
✨ Nativity and church customs
✨ Key holiday vocabulary
✨ Drawing, coloring, and early writing activities
✨ Differentiated pages for multiple learning levels
It’s perfect for:

✨Elf on the Shelf Daily Writing✨
If you’d like to encourage your child to write a little bit each day, my Elf on the Shelf Writing Page can help make it easy and magical. 🎄✏️
Each morning, your child can draw their elf’s new spot and write a simple sentence about where the elf is hiding.
I’ve also included a confidence-building version where kids can circle the location instead of writing, perfect for early writers or those who need a gentle start.
It’s a fun, low-pressure way to build daily writing habits this December! ♥️

🌟🃏🧩🎲This week, we practiced place value, number sense, and addition strategies using dice, number cards, and visual charts. By touching, moving, and seeing the numbers come to life, students develop a deeper understanding of how numbers work together.🌟
