Here are a few ideas on how to use our book. The best thing you can do is plan ahead. We have included a blank calendar for you. There are more than a months’ worth of printables and ideas. Some are very simple, and some take a little more planning. Look through and find the ideas that you think your family will enjoy and mark what you want to do each day. There is a 1 week and 2 week countdown idea and also a welcome and goodbye letter, so be sure to mark those on the appropriate days. It is always a good idea to print out the Elfisms, Good Deed Cards and Joke cards to have on hand for a busy night when you need a quick idea. We have included a blank shopping list for you as well. As you plan your month, if there are any supplies you need, be sure to jot them down.

Be sure to hide your supplies and any trash created when changing printables with your Christmas Elf, so your children don’t accidentally see it. No worries if you have an accidental Elf touch - we have a full Magical Recovery Kit that will soothe the most distressed child!

    lots and lots of happy This stocking is packed with Christmas something wishes from special me! Our Five Senses Christmas Poem Written by Elaine Engerdahl I see the Christmas tree and children on Santa’s knee. I smell the cookies I make and the Christmas cake. I hear bells ringing and children singing. -2- I taste the Christmas sweets and all the other treats. I feel the Christmas toys made for girls and boys. How do you use your Christmas senses? Christmas Literature Activities - Integrating the Five Senses into Christmas After reading the popular book If You Take A Mouse To The Movies by Laura Numeroff and illustrated by Felicia Bond the children could discuss what senses were used in the book. After the emergent reader Christmas Mouse would be used to model the reading process. It could be made into a big book, predictable chart, displayed on the overhead or reprinted on chart paper. Sample pages of the book are displayed below. The children could be actively involved in using their five senses to complete the book. The story line reads as follows: What happens when mouse goes to the mall? He smells the gingerbread cookies (ginger and cinnamon could be sprinkled on the cookie for the children to smell). He wants to taste one. He sees the tree. He wants to decorate one (children would decorate the tree as shown in the photo). He hears the bells. (little bells could be added for children to hear). He wants to shake one. He touches Santa's suit. (red felt could be glued to the suit for the children to feel).

  • The Politics and Ideologies of Pluricentric German in L2 Teaching
    Julia Ruck Webster Vienna Private University THE POLITICS AND IDEOLOGIES OF PLURICENTRIC GERMAN IN L2 TEACHING Abstract: Despite a history of rigorous linguistic research on the regional variation of German as well as professional initiatives to promote German, Austrian, and Swiss Standard German as equal varieties, there is still a lack of awareness and systematic incorporation of regional varieties in L2 German teaching. This essay follows two goals: First, it reviews the development of the pluricentric approach in the discourse on L2 German teaching as well as the political and ideological preconditions that form the backdrop of this discussion. Particular emphasis will be given to institutional tri-national collaborations and the standard language ideology. Second, by drawing on sociolinguistic insights on the use and speaker attitudes of (non-)standard varieties, this contribution argues that the pluricentric focus on national standard varieties in L2 German teaching falls short in capturing the complex socioculturally situated practices of language use in both (often dialectally-oriented) everyday and (often standard-oriented) formal and official domains of language use. I argue that the pluricentric approach forms an important step in overcoming the monocentric bias of one correct Standard German; however, for an approach to L2 German teaching that aims at representing linguistic and cultural diversity, it is necessary to incorporate both standard and non-standard varieties into L2 German teaching. Keywords: L2 German w language variation w language ideologies w language politics Ruck, Julia. “The Politics and Ideologies of Pluricentric German in L2 Teaching.” Critical Multilingualism Studies 8:1 (2020): pp. 17–50.
