christmas stories
Does anyone know any good Christmas stories for second grade? First grade does holidays around the world and third grade does Best Christmas Pageant Ever. We were going to do Polar Express but we just found out that first grade did that too! I'm out of ideas!

What about doing the twelve days of Christmas and having them act out the parts?

How about the ideas behind O Henry's "The Gift of the Magi"?? The story itself is above their heads, but the ideas are wonderful.
If you can do religious themes, how about The Little Drummer Boy?
Or A Christmas Carol? Or the ideas behind It's a Wonderful Life-- that each of us has an effect on the world around us?

yeah, I really don't want to get into the religious aspect because of all the "wonderful issues." I was thinkgin of the Christmas carol but do you think that it would be too hard for second grade?

How about the Donald Duck Scrooge Mc Duck version? I haven't seen it in years, but vaguely remember it.
Here it is: I bet your library has it:

Mr. Putter and Tabby Bake the Cake, His neighbor Mrs. Teaberry loves fruitcake but Mr. Putter doesn't want to give her a cake for Christmas that will break her toe so he decides to bake her a cake. But he doesn't know how! It's a GREAT story!
Mr. Willoby's Christmas tree is another story we do.
