Rocket the Reindeer: Math & Literacy Pack

Printable unit · Grades K–1 · PDF, 25 pages + Google Doc · $4

Rocket is a small reindeer with a shiny red nose, a red scarf and a very quiet voice. Students read his story, Rocket's Big Night, and track how he changes from shy to brave. Then they graph his favorite snack, solve his story problems, make and measure Hoof Print Reindeer, and read the emergent reader Where Is Rocket? to practice positional words.

Finish the week by making Reindeer Snack Mix, sequencing the steps, writing a how-to and playing the Jingle! sight word game. Everything is original and ready to print.
